Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC)
|
|
 |
Human Research Ethics Committees (HRECs) are an important component of all research involving humans in Australia and are the Australian equivalent of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in the USA.
To ensure efficiency in undertaking and administering clinical trials in Australia, QCTN has established an independent HREC focussed on the needs of members and sponsors seeking to undertake trials in Australia.
The functions of this HREC are to:
- Consider the ethical implications of proposed human research with participants proposed by collaborating organisations and investigators and to advise these organisations and investigators of the ethical acceptability of these proposals;
- Monitor experiments involving human research to completion to ensure compliance with approved ethical standards;
- Maintain a register of experiments, in sufficient detail, to provide for adequate monitoring; and
- Establish and maintain communication with appropriate health and ethics committees.
Meeting Schedule
The following table summarises the meeting schedules. All meetings are held in the offices of QCTN. For urgent applications, please contact the CEO of QCTN.
