Are there any exceptions to the single review principle?
Yes. • Research projects involving persons in custody in NSW must be submitted to the HREC of NSW Justice Health, even if the project has been reviewed by a lead HREC. • Research projects coming within section 6.4 of the NSW Aboriginal Health Information Guidelines (currently under review) must be considered for review by the HREC of the Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council, even if the project has been reviewed by a lead HREC. • Research projects requiring access to statewide data collections owned or managed by NSW Health must be reviewed by the NSW Population & Health Services Research Ethics Committee (a HREC jointly convened by NSW Department of Health and the Cancer Institute NSW). This HREC is a lead HREC so although research projects must be reviewed by this committee, further review by another lead HREC is not required.
