All human research projects in Australia must adhere to the guiding principles outlined in the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research, relevant National and State legislation and other regulatory organisations. Research projects must be reviewed and approved by:

A Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC), known as an ethical review; and
The institution where the research will be conducted, known as a Research Governance review

A researcher must have both an ethical approval and research governance approval prior to commencing a research project at Northern Health.

Northern Health does not have a Human Research Ethics Committee. Ethical approval is accepted via the National Mutual Acceptance scheme. Click here for approved HREC’s.
Northern Health Research Governance Approval must be obtained prior to commencement of all research projects.
