If an institution does not have a HREC and does not wish to set up one, it does not need to complete the HREC Registration form. Where such institutions wish to conduct health research, they should consult the National Code of Health Research Ethics for guidelines which stipulates that they can collaborate with the HREC in another institution. Click here to download the National Code for Health Research Ethics and here for the Agreement form for institutions without HREC seeking ethical oversight from the HREC of another institution.  You can submit the completed form here
