Human Research Ethics

SAHMRI researchers are committed to transforming innovative health and medical research into practical benefits for patients and the community. In each of our seven research themes that address some of the most pressing and critical problems that confront our health and wellbeing today, our researchers are focusing their efforts on developing and pioneering new treatments. In addition, they are taking the lead in clinical trials that will help inform future research activities across the globe.

The South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) is committed to conducting and supporting methodologically and ethically sound research that adheres to, and is conducted in accordance with, ethical principles, guidelines for responsible research conduct, legislation and regulations.

All SAHMRI researchers are required to receive ethics approval from a properly constituted Human Research Ethics Committee.

Research must comply with the conditions outlined in the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research.

SAHMRI has an agreement with SA Health in relation to the use of public sector Human Research Ethics Committees.
