Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC)

The Royal Brisbane & Women’s (RBWH) Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) is one of three HREC’s in the Metro North District.

The Committee considers applications for approval to conduct research at this hospital, and Sunshine Coast hospitals.  Private medical specialists or facilities may also access the RBWH HREC with prior agreement.  After deliberations the Committee recommends a favourable or not favourable opinion.  Researchers are also required to complete site specific requirements for research governance purposes to gain District CEO approval to commence the research.

 

The Committee is constituted in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council’s "National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007)".
