To support its world-class research and to ensure the highest possible standards, the Women’s has a strong governance and ethics system as well as resources for those undertaking research and conducting clinical trials.
Our dedicated research support service is responsible for helping staff conduct research which will extend our knowledge of effective clinical practice and optimise health outcomes. The Women’s also participates in the state-wide central system of ethical review in Victoria.
