Ethics And Clinical Trial Governance

All research at the Skin Health Institute undergoes an ethical review and approval process. The level of review depends on the type of clinical trial.

For all interventional clinical trials, a full ethics committee review is required. Our preferred ethics committee is private group, Bellberry Limited. For more information on the Bellberry Ethics Committee, please visit their website https://bellberry.com.au/

Our investigators and sponsors may also choose to use public ethics review boards at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and Royal Melbourne Hospital. For more on these ethics’ committees, please visit their websites:
