WA health system ethics reform

The Department of Health (the department) has established a centralised Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) to streamline the ethical approval processes required for research projects and provide greater consistency across the WA Health system.

The new WA Health Central HREC is based at the department’s Royal Street office with operational support provided by a Central Office for Research Ethics (CORE).
