Human research ethics

Any research or evaluation conducted by or for the department or its statutory agencies, or done under its auspice, must satisfy ethical standards as provided by the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (External link) developed jointly by the National Health and Medical Research Council, Australian Research Council and Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee.

An application to the Justice Human Research Ethics Committee (JHREC) for ethics approval must be made for all research or evaluation, if it involves more than a low level risk, as defined by the National Statement.
