The AH&MRC Ethics Committee has established procedures for addressing complaints and feedback regarding ethical matters in current research in Aboriginal health. In general, this is meant for research projects that have been approved by the Ethics Committee, but assistance may be provided for complaints and feedback relating to Aboriginal people or communities in general health research.
