For researchers at SALHN
The Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN) has a strong reputation for the quality of its scientific and medical research. For further information, please view our Application Type Decision Aid (PDF 146 KB) for guidance on what type of application should be used.
The new SA Health research governance and ethics management system, Research GEMS is now live. Please review the user guides for step-by-step instructions on how to navigate the Research GEMS system. We encourage all researchers to contact the Office for Research regarding upcoming Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) and Governance applications.
We aim to provide an open-door approach that promotes easily accessible advice and produces a culture of collaboration. To deliver on that objective, we can now offer the following three opportunities for face-to-face/video meetings, by appointment to discuss your research:
- External: Our staff can visit your office to fit into your schedule
- Internal: You can visit our office for a meeting in our private meeting room
- Virtual: We can meet via MS Teams
