Here is the honest situation. The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research sets the ethical standard for human research in Australia, built on research merit and integrity, justice, beneficence and respect. It requires institutional research governance, Human Research Ethics Committee review proportionate to risk, informed and voluntary consent, risk-benefit justification and safety monitoring, privacy and data management, additional protections for vulnerable participants, and ongoing monitoring of approved research. Preparing research to meet it and evidencing it for an HREC is real work, and a project with weak consent, unjustified risk or no monitoring is exactly where researchers fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every National Statement obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an HREC examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research, with the values, research governance, HREC review, consent and participant information, risk-benefit and safety, privacy and data management, protections for vulnerable participants and ongoing monitoring called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is adopting the National Statement values and research governance, where ethical research begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A safeguard you cannot evidence stalls HREC approval. This tells you what an HREC examines and where researchers fall short, for every obligation.
- Consent, risk and oversight built in. The informed consent, the risk-benefit justification and the ongoing monitoring are written into the controls, the substance the National Statement requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The National Statement aligns with the research integrity code and privacy law, so this work feeds your wider research governance program.
Who buys this
Universities, hospitals, research institutes and their researchers, HREC members and research governance officers. Whether it is a first ethics application or an institutional review, you save weeks and walk in with consent, risk-benefit and oversight structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover HREC review? Yes. Constituting the committee and reviewing research against the National Statement are their own control group.
Does it cover consent? Yes. Informed, voluntary consent, participant information and the right to withdraw are built as controls.
Does it cover vulnerable participants? Yes. Additional protections for participants in vulnerable circumstances are built as controls.
