The Research Development and Governance Unit (RDGU) is here to support you.

All research activities at Northern Health require appropriate approvals.

To assist with your planning, a simple guide to approvals for research projects at Northern Health is now available to download – Click here.

This guide will assist you to understand the most appropriate pathway for approval of the project you have planned.

We strongly encourage you to meet with the RDGU team (ResearchDGU@nh.org.au) early in your project planning process, especially if you are new to Northern Health and/or research. Engaging with us early supports timely approval and project commencement.
