Albury Wodonga Health Human Research Ethics Committee
The Albury Wodonga Health Human Research Ethics Committee (AWHHREC) operates under the NHMRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2023. The AWHHREC's primary role is to protect the welfare and the rights of participants in research.
The AWHHREC considers clinical research projects or any research project involving humans at the campuses of Albury Wodonga Health. The AWHHREC may review projects from other health services in the Albury Wodonga (and wider) region. Please get in touch to find out more: at ethics@awh.org.au
If you are unsure if your project is Low Risk or requires a full Human Research Ethics Application Form (HREA), contact our Research Office: at research@awh.org.au
Project submission due dates
Research Office review
To ensure that research protocols and associated documents are of a high standard before being submitted to the AWHHREC, a pre-ethical review of projects will be undertaken by the Research Office. Research Office staff have research experience and can assist with protocol development.
Draft protocols for new projects can be submitted to the Research Office one month before the AWH Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) meeting date. This allows time for the Research Office to review the protocol and associated documents to ensure they are ready for ethical review. After review by the Research Office, researchers will be guided through submission to the AWHHREC on ERM.
