CSL have stated they are collaborating with University of Queensland which have just reported great test results in The Australian for preliminary testing on mice:

“What was amazing to see was the amount of antibodies produced in the mice to neutralise the virus was much higher in ourvaccine than has been seen in most recovered patients who have experienced the disease,” Dr Chappell said."

It seems however that CSL are not the frontrunner to produce the vacine if the Uni gets a successful candidate:

"While there were no guarantees of success, Professor Munro said the support the team had received allowed work to crack on at an “unprecedented” pace.This included funding from international not-for-profit the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and governmentsin Australia, backing from the CSIRO and a preliminary agreement with multinational Cytiva on manufacturing."

Hopefully they would still get a decent licensing fee if any of their proprietary technology was being deployed.
