The Justice Health Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) is accredited by the National Health and Medical Research Council. It aims to support research that is carried out in an ethical manner that will lead to improvements in policy and in service delivery while protecting the welfare, rights, dignity and safety of research participants.
This site answers your questions such as:
- Do I need to apply for ethics approval?
- Is my research low or negligible risk?
- Is the Justice Health HREC the right one to apply to?
- Do I need to apply to the AH&MRC Ethics Committee?
It also provides a step-by-step guide to making an ethics application.
