The role of the Committee is to make sure that the rights of participants are respected and that no human research is approved unless it meets stringent requirements of integrity, justice, and fairness.

They are looking for members to join the Geelong, Burwood and Melbourne CBD panels, who preferably live or work locally with a variety of life experience.
