In general, it is the role of the Committee, not the role of a school or discipline, to determine if a project involving human subjects must be cleared through the formal approval process. Investigators who are unsure if their project requires ethical approval should contact the Chair or Executive Officer . The Committee has two social sciences sub-committees, based in Hobart and Launceston. The Committee and sub-committees consider applications at regular meetings and by circular. Please refer to the Handbook on Human Ethics for further information.
Forms are also available on-line.
