Survey or form
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care is conducting consultations on the minimum core elements of the national SSA. The aim of the single national SSA is to ensure a single process for local site risk assessment and authorisation for health-related human research.
The Clinical Trials Project Reference Group endorsed in principle the national SSA minimum core elements with agreed amendments for implementation via the National One Stop Shop subject to further feedback through the second phase of national consultations.
Making reasonable adjustment for a person’s intellectual disability creates an inclusive environment and facilitates meeting the NSQHS Standards.
