Important information – Automatic Suspension of Ethics Applications with expired Ethics Approval

From Wednesday 28 June 2023, REGIS will deploy a new feature that automatically changes the status of any study with expired ethics approval for at least a year to “Suspended”. This means that the ethics approval will be suspended.

If this affects one of your studies, you will automatically receive an email from the Research Ethics and Governance Office providing instructions on what to do next.

If you have any queries, please contact: SLHD-ConcordEthics@health.nsw.gov.au
