What criteria are used to determine whether a licence should be issued?

The legislation sets out strict criteria that the NHMRC Embryo Research Licensing Committee must consider before it issues a licence authorising the use of excess ART embryos. According to these criteria, the Committee must be satisfied that: • appropriate protocols are in place to enable proper consent to be obtained before an excess ART embryo or human egg is used or other embryos are created or used and to ensure adherence to any restrictions specified by the persons for who gave consent to the use; and • the proposed project has been considered and approved by a Human Research Ethics Committee that is constituted in accordance with, and acting in compliance with, the NHMRC’s National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research. The NHMRC Embryo Research Licensing Committee must also have regard to: • restricting the number of excess ART embryos, other embryos or human eggs to that likely to be necessary to achieve the goals of the research or activity proposed in the application
