Review of Ethics Applications
Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC)
The Torrens University Australia HREC is registered with the NHMRC and meets regularly throughout the year. The HREC reviews research proposals involving human participants to ensure that they are ethically acceptable and in accordance with relevant standards and guidelines. In undertaking this role, the HREC is guided by the National Statement and relevant guidelines, policies and legislation (see Reviewer Information & Links below).
The TUA HREC Reviewer Checklist aligns with the National Statement and is used by HREC members to review ethics applications (login to Ethics RM to access at the top of the page Help>Templates).
Further information regarding HREC composition and registration is available at the NHMRC website.

Maintaining Ethics Approval
To comply with the issued ethics approval and ensure ongoing approval, adequate reporting is required in line with the National Statement, Chapter 5.5 'Monitoring Approved Research'.
Researchers are responsible for providing reports (such as Annual and Completion Reports) to the HREC for noting. Further, it is the researcher's responsibility to notify the HREC of any unexpected adverse or serious events that my impact participant welfare in a timely manner.
