The National Statement (p 5.1.19 to 5.1.23) states that research which involves a risk of harm is considered more than low risk, and is to be submitted via SA Health's Governance and Ethics Management System (GEMS).
Visit the Southern Adelaide Clinical Human Research Ethics Committee (SAC HREC) page for this year's meeting dates.
Resources
- SALHN Research Ethics Essentials provides guidance, tips and information on how to submit a high-quality ethics application and student involvement in clinical review (audits) or research projects.
- The SALHN Research Hub has a Training Resources page, which contains useful resources to assist you with the preparation, writing and submission of your application.
- Good Clinical Practice training is required by all listed investigators, as per National Clinical Trials Governance Framework (Action 1.2 and 1.6.) A free Good Clinical Practice course can be found under Training Resources.
Research Governance
For all research involving SALHN staff, patients, patient data or facilities, a Site-Specific Assessment (SSA) Governance application will be required.
Research Governance is a review of the quality, safety, privacy, risk management, financial management and ethical acceptability of research specifically at SALHN. Please refer to our Research Governance page and Research Governance Essentials for more information.
