Dear Mark, 
Thank you for your email and request. 
I am treating your request as an informal application for information. 
From my research into policy documents concerning "self-experimentation" I
have located - 

 1. Macquarie University’s Policy Central website - 
[1]https://policies.mq.edu.au/ - which is the authoritative source for
all Macquarie University policies, procedures, guidelines, rules, and
related documents.

 2. Within the above Policy library there is the Human Reserach Ethics
Policy at [2]https://policies.mq.edu.au/document/view...

 3. This specific policy outlines how Macquarie University fulfils its
responsibilities for ensuring compliance with the National Health and
Medical Research Council’s National Statement on Ethical Conduct in
Human Research (2007) - Updated 2018 and the Australian Code for the
Responsible Conduct of Research, 2018.  Both these compliance
requirements are hyperlinked withn the Human Reserach Ethics Policy. 

Please review the above policy information. 

Regards

Lachlan.

Subject: Government Information (Public Access) 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
