Dear Mark
Thank you for your email. 
In response to your query, the University does not have a separate policy
for self-experimentation. Any research involving human beings, including
self-experimentation, undergoes ethics review in line with the National
Statement.
Kind regards

Subject: Right to Information request - University research policies
regarding self-experimentation
 
To the University.

I would be grateful if you would, if possible, deal with this request
under administrative arrangements rather than invoking the cumbersome
machinery of the Freedom of Information/Right to Information Act.

I am seeking a copy of any policy documents that your university has (most
likely with your Human Research Ethics Committee [HREC], or similar)
regarding research involving self-experimentation, by which I mean those
projects or experiments in which the only participant is the researcher
themselves.

I am particularly interested in (i) whether your university has an
explicit policy regarding self-experimentation, and (ii) whether
self-experimentation requires HREC review.

Yours faithfully,

Mark R. Diamond
