Reportable payments to Healthcare Professionals are:

• Payments for the provision of services such as giving a lecture, chairing an educational meeting, providing advice as a member of an Advisory Board or as a Consultant
• Sponsorship to attend medical education (airfares, accommodation, conference registration fees)

These sponsorships support independent healthcare professional educational activities that are organised by third parties to enhance healthcare professional’s knowledge and skills so that patients can be even more confident that they are receiving the best of care. Sponsored third party educational meetings and symposia include those organised by universities, hospitals and healthcare professional societies.

Reportable payments to Third Party organisations are:

• Financial sponsorship of a third party educational event
• Monetary contribution to support the conduct of grand rounds, clinic meetings or journal club meetings

Health Consumer Organisation Support

From 30 June 2020, CSL Seqirus is publishing its Health Consumer Organisation Support Report on this website in PDF format. CSL Seqirus supports not-for-profit Health Consumer Organisations to improve health outcomes for the Australian patient community. Our support follows the principles of ‘Working Together: A Guide to Relationships between Health Consumer Organisations and Pharmaceutical Companies’ which was developed together by MA and the Consumer Health Forum.

Reportable payments and non-financial support to Health Consumer Organisations are:

• the name of the health consumer organisation
• a description of the nature of the support that is sufficiently complete to enable the average reader to form an understanding of the nature of the support
• the monetary value of financial support and of invoiced costs. For significant non-financial support that cannot be assigned a meaningful monetary value, the published information must describe clearly the non-monetary value that the organisation receives.
