Committees
It is a requirement of the National Health Medical Research Council (NHMRC) that all medical or scientific research undertaken with humans must be approved by a properly constituted ethics committee. All researchers and review committees must be familiar with National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research and have an understanding of the ethical issues that can arise in the research under review.
Research Review Committee (RRC)
All research applications are sent electronically to the RRC before the ethics review. The RRC is empowered to review projects from a technical, scientific and governance perspective and make recommendations to the Ethics Committee. The RRC may approve low or negligible risk projects. Applications are sent electronically to hrec@barwonhealth.org.au before 5 pm the RRC agenda date.
