Abstract

Health research drives improvements in patient health outcomes, health service delivery and healthcare efficiency (WHO 2015). Ethical approval is a crucial step in ensuring that research is designed, conducted and translated in ways that recognise and ensure shared social values and needs. It safeguards the fundamental ethical principles of respect, justice, beneficence and nonmaleficence, and demands research merit and integrity as foundational requirements (NHMRC 2023).
