Regulatory and governance approvals

About

Let’s collaborate to make ethics, governance & regulatory approvals simple.  If you’ve landed here, you wants us to help you by:

  • Logging and tracking a request
  • Find an answer or help guide
  • Know what committees we have, who they are and how they make decisions
  • Help with putting the legal and regulatory stuff together

Committees

Our Human Research Ethics Committee is fully constituted in accordance with the NHMRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Research. Thanks to their commitment, we always have a quorate meeting, which means we have:

  • A chair
  • Two people who bring broader community or consumer perspective and no paid affiliation with us
  • A person who performs a pastoral care role
  • A qualified lawyer
  • Two people with current and relevant research experience

Helpful Templates & Guidelines

We’ve kept our templates to a minimum, we do this, so you don’t waste time completing templates that aren’t required. Once you have a draft protocol, log a request and we will do the rest!

Use the protocol that suits your study design

Here’s some great news, let us write them for you! This means you just need to submit the protocol.

If you feel like you need to write your own, please use the CT:IQ template.

Here’s some less great news, we do need to charge for our time to process your request. Our fees help us to continue to pay for our wonderful staff, pay for our service, and continue to improve our systems that allow for maximum transparency and efficiency. We know you understand (as much as you can).

If you would like us to register your trial with the Therapeutic Goods Administration, this form has now been combined with the fee form.
