List of Human Research Ethics Committees registered with NHMRC
The table below lists the Human Research Ethics Committees (‘HREC’) registered with NHMRC. The HRECs are listed by state/territory based on their physical location (or the physical location of their office). HRECs highlighted in blue have either been registered, closed or their details have been updated since the previous version of this document. What does ‘registered’ mean?
For an HREC to be ‘registered’ with NHMRC, the institution(s) that established the HREC notifies NHMRC of the HREC’s existence and provides a signed declaration that the HREC will comply with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research, 2007 (National Statement) and any revisions made to it. Although the primary responsibility for monitoring the activities of an HREC rests with the institution(s) that established it, each year institutions that have established an HREC self-report to NHMRC on the HRECs activities over the previous calendar year. What is a ‘Certified Institution’?
To be identified as a ‘Certified Institution’, the institution’s ethical review process has undergone an independent assessment conducted by a certifying body (currently, NHMRC). Certification begins with the institution carrying out a self-assessment of its ethical review processes and supporting structures against agreed national criteria. This is followed by a desktop assessment by the certifying body before an on-site visit to verify institutional claims and practices. Certification is dependent upon a satisfactory demonstration of institutional conformance with specified criteria which, in part, are based on the National Statement - including that the HREC is appropriately constituted, and that its institution’s policies, processes and procedures meet an agreed national set of criteria. Further information on the National Certification Scheme.
