Human Research Ethics

The CQUniversity Human Research Ethics Committee (CQUHREC) is responsible for assessing and providing clearance to any research undertaken by university staff or Research Masters or Doctorate candidates.

Applications for ethical clearance involving humans

It is also important to note that the National Statement (NS) specifies that a full HREC review MUST be conducted for research involving any of the techniques or participants listed below - which means that if your project falls under these categories, you will NOT be able to use the Low Risk process.
