low risk

Research where the only foreseeable risk is one of discomfort. Low risk projects at Deakin as assessed by Faculty based Human Ethics Advisory Groups. This expedited review uses the Low Risk Research Form rather than the NEAF. This excludes research defined under the National Statement 5.1.6 - broadly, medical research and/or with vulnerable participants - regardless of the risk involved.
