It is a requirement of Charles Sturt University, like all other Australian universities and research organisations, that all research that involves human participants must be conducted in accordance with the National Statement on the Ethical Conduct in Human Research.

The role of the CSU HREC is to consider ethical implications of all proposed human research projects that are considered more than low risk conducted by University staff or students and to determine whether or not they are acceptable on ethical grounds. The Committee bases all their comments, requests for clarification or further information, on the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Research Involving Humans, issued by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

The Committee is committed to the highest standard of integrity in research and acknowledges the value of advancing knowledge by research and aims to ensure that the rights of individual participants of the research are protected at all times.

The Committee reviews each research project according to the following issues:

• Research Merit and Integrity
  
• Justice
  
• Beneficence
  
• Respect for human beings.
