Notes on the Assessment of Ethical Risk

• Any assessment involving human participant research is by default deemed to involve Low or Moderate/High ethical risk.
• Any assessment involving research on children or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is by default deemed to involve Moderate/High ethical risk.
• A college with an AUT recognised College Ethics Committee may assess and approve Low ethical risk research but if Moderate/High ethical risk is identified an Ethics Protocol Application must be lodged with the HREC and receive approval for the UQAF to be approved.
