Social Media Community Guidelines for CSL Behring Corporate Channels

CSL and CSL Behring manage a variety of social media channels where we share information and strive to foster engaging, supportive communities.  

We will do our best to respond to your comments and questions and aim to engage with you on our social media properties. Please note there may be some questions or comments we cannot address because they are related to regulatory, financial, legal, or other business matters.  

CSL and CSL Behring social media accounts are not designed for the discussion of prescription medicines, treatments or medical advice. Any questions you have regarding your condition or treatment should be discussed with your health care provider.

Please do not report adverse events or side effects on this platform. For any information regarding an adverse event or side effect related to a CSL Behring product in Australia please email us here MedicalInformation@cslbehring.com.au or call 1800-642-865.  If you are trying to report an adverse event related to a CSL Behring product in a country other than Australia, please find the appropriate contact information for reporting here: https://www.cslbehring.com/contact/report-an-undesirable-effect

If you post to one of our social media channels, or otherwise respond or comment on one of our posts, you are agreeing to abide by our CSL & CSL Behring Community Guidelines, in addition to the Terms and Conditions or other legal notices that are provided by us and/or the owner of the social media platform such as: LinkedIn’s User Agreement, Facebook’s Terms of Service, Twitter’s Terms of Service, and Instagram’s Terms of Service.

We will respect all followers, fans and visitors of our accounts and in return we ask that everyone treat each other with respect, even if you don't always agree with each other.

Comments and responses on our channels that are not posted by us come from members of the public. The content of these comments (including opinions and statements) posted on our channels do not necessarily reflect the views of the social media site, CSL or CSL Behring, and are the responsibility of the individual(s) posting them.

Those that disregard these rules could have their post(s) deleted and risk being blocked from future posting or the social media channel completely.

Please show respect for one another as members of our social media communities.

We will do our best to respond to your comments and feedback in a timely manner. Please remember our social media channels contain the opinions and views of other users. While we are moderating our social media channels to help ensure that users’ posts comply with our guidelines, we cannot be responsible for the accuracy or reliability of comments or materials posted by users.

Please consider this before you post. When you post in any of our social media channels, the name and image associated with your account will be visible and associated with your post and if we re-use your post elsewhere, we may display your name, likeness and handle there as well. Your comment or post may also be submitted to legal authorities should we have a good faith belief that disclosure of your post content is reasonably necessary to detect and prevent fraud or protect the safety of the public or an individual, or we are required to do so by law.
