In many cases, you may be able to use a separate information sheet and a consentform to demonstrate informed consent. The use of a consent form is required unless you arguethat by asking a subject to sign a consent form you would be seriously affecting the study, or thewillingness of the subject to participate. If a consent form is not used, you need to argue whyyou believe your participants will have voluntarily taken part in the study. If you intend to use aconsent form, a typical form is attached, which you can adapt for your study. Also attached is anoverview of information that might go onto an information sheet. Adapt these as you think isappropriate for your study. You should attach a copy of the information sheet and consent formto the ethics application if used.3. Confidentiality: You need to state how you will maintain the confidentiality of the participants,both in presenting results to other people and in storing data for processing.4. Other ethical considerations: If you believe that your project has other ethical considerations,discuss them in detail (for example if you want to use invasive procedures such as injections).5. Compliance with NH&MRC guidelines: Read the NH&MRC guidelines on research availableon the above web-site and include a statement which says that you have read them and thatthe research complies with them.6. Appendices: Attach copies of information sheets, consent form or non-standardquestionnaires/materials that you will give to participants (if applicable).The original plus two copies of the Ethics Proposal, including Form A should be forwarded to:Secretary, Human Research Ethics CommitteeC/- Office of Research & DevelopmentCurtin University of TechnologyGPO Box U1987PERTH, WA 6845Proposals are normally processed within two weeks; although the process may take longer, dependingon the availability of ethics reviewers.

If the Ethics Committee has agreed that written consent is impractical then there mustbe adequate provision in the subject’s introduction to the research project for him/her to decline to beinvolved or to withdraw at any point without prejudice to either party.It is intended that the consent form remain a simple document and that only basic items of a proceduralnature be listed. The information that is required to give informed consent is to be discussed and givenin the Participant Information Sheet.On the advice of the solicitors, it has been recommended that in any case where a research participantis to receive payment for his or her assistance, the required consent form should include the followingstatement:“Acknowledge that I have been informed of my right to withdraw from participation (in thisexperiment) at any time and that any payment made to me is by way of a gratuity forassistance.”An outline for the approved Consent Form is as follows.
