Indigenous Research Unit
The Indigenous Research Unit works in collaboration with GUMURRII to identify research activities and create opportunities for the University’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander HDR cohort.
Ethics
Students are expected to pursue their research in accordance with the University's policies relating to experimentation on human and animal subjects.
Supervisors are responsible for advising students on whether ethical clearance is likely to be required, and for guiding the candidates through the process for obtaining clearance. An expedited review process is available for research involving humans.
That part of the research involving animal or human subjects cannot commence until ethical clearance, or a waiver, is obtained from the relevant University ethics committee. The need for ethical clearance is reviewed at several stages during the candidature including at application, during the candidature confirmation procedure, and during the annual review of progress. If ethical clearance is pending at the time of the candidature confirmation procedure, confirmation will be conditional upon the clearance being obtained.
Health and safety
The University requires all members of the University (including students undertaking study or research activities) – whether on- or off-campus – to comply with relevant workplace health and safety legislation, codes of practice, advisory standards and established good practice; including Australian Standards and the University's Health Safety and Wellbeing Policy (PDF 382k).
Students are expected to:
- comply with University health and safety policies and procedures
- conduct their activities in a manner that prevents personal injury or injury to others and damage to property
- cooperate with and actively participate in the University's safety management system
- report any incident, unsafe conditions or acts that come to their attention.
