Safety Reporting

All safety reporting must be submitted via ERM, by creating a sub-form under the relevant project and application form. Refer to the Safety Reporting for Clinical Trials procedure [PDF 578.93 KB] for more information.

Amendment Submissions

You must advise the HREC and RGO if you plan to change your study in a way that could affect the ethical or ongoing site acceptability.

You'll need to submit your report online by creating a sub-form in the Ethics Review Manager (ERM).

Make sure you select Post Authorisation Notification Form—RGO when you create the sub-form. You’ll need to create a separate sub-form for each notification.

Your submission should include:

  • rationale and summary of the amendment from the principal investigator—to be completed in the ERM amendment form
  • a copy of all additional and amended documents—one tracked and one clean copy of each revised document including a new version number and date in the footer
  • a copy of the HREC amendment approval letter.

Refer to the amendment submission instructions [PDF 160.61 KB] for more information.
