La Trobe University Faculty Human Ethics Committees

Faculty Human Ethics Committees (FHECs) are subcommittees of the University Human Ethics Committee (UHEC) and assist the UHEC in training, education and review duties. In particular, FHECs provide discipline-specific advice for researchers and research trainees. FHECs accept summaries of negligible risk applications and assess applications for low risk projects.
