Mr Turland, 32, who was case number 110 in Australia is now fully recovered from the virus, but he is well aware that his plasma could be helpful in research.
"I fit the healthy profile," he said.
"I've recovered from the virus, I don't smoke or use drugs and I don't drink excessively."

"My blood may not necessarily help, but it could be relevant in treatment if a person is at a certain stage of the virus," he said.
"My blood could be relevant for treatment of certain things and I will make myself available if they want to study it."
Mr Turland said a Melbourne-based research company the Commonwealth Serum Labratory (CSL) Behring has indicated interest in his offer.
CSL Behring is described on its website as a key part of the effort to find a treatment for COVID-19, looking at the use of antibody-rich plasma from those who have recovered from the novel coronavirus to treat patients who are suffering from the illness has emerged as a hopeful potential therapy.
It is developing an anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma product for the Australian market with the potential to treat people with serious complications of COVID-19, particularly those whose illness is progressing towards the need for ventilation.
The investigational product, to be known as COVID-19 Immunoglobulin, is under development at the company's advanced manufacturing facility located in Broadmeadows, Victoria.
