In addition to the general requirement that all research involving human participants conducted for a degree at the UOW be approved by the Faculty of Education’s Ethics Committee or the UOW Human Research Ethics Committee, any research that is conducted in government schools or at TAFE site must also meet NSW Department of Education and Training requirements before research can commence. The Catholic Education Office has similar requirements for research conducted in schools within their system. The approval of the principal of any independent school must also be sought before any research is conducted in their school.

The NSW Department of Education Ethics Guidelines and Form can be downloaded from the DET website: https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/media/downloads/research/guidelines.pdf

The Catholic Education Office form is available by contacting the relevant CEO regional office: http://www.ceo.woll.catholic.edu.au/

If you are engaged in research for a coursework subject at the postgraduate or undergraduate level then you may not need to go through all of these procedures. This chart provides directions as to the route you will need to follow depending on the nature of your research. If your research falls under Category 2 then you will need to fill in the Faculty of Education Research Application Form. If your research falls under Category 3 you will need to read the Guidelines for Conducting Research at the University of Wollongong and complete the appropriate application form.
