Barwon Health Ethics & Governance Fees
REGI fees have been set based on a percentage of the total (human and other) resources required to review a new research project upon submission and then to monitor and manage it over its lifetime.
The fees charged represent only partial recovery of the total cost of providing ethical and governance oversight.
Attention please: The REGI Invoice Request form was updated on 20 February 2023. Please only use new version.
Barwon Health raises invoices for all REGI review fees. Please complete the following steps;
- Download a REGI Invoice Request Form (click here to download - updated 20 February 2023)
- Enter as much information as possible into the “blue” coloured areas.
- Upload completed form to ERM as a Microsoft Word document with your submission.
Research not covered in the below payment types is exempt from any review fees.
