Review of Ethics Guidelines

AIATSIS is currently undertaking a full review of our Guidelines for Ethical Research in Indigenous Studies (GERIS) and associated materials. The Guidelines were drafted around ten years ago, and have not been comprehensively reviewed since.

The project is looking at developments in ethical practices over the past decade and emerging trends for the future, with the aim of delivering a coherent policy document to guide ethical research involving Indigenous peoples over the next 5-10 years.

Comments are now invited on the Discussion Paper and revised draft of GERIS. Comments can be provided via the public comments box below.

You may prefer to send your comments directly to:

If you have any questions, please ring Mr Michael Davis on 0417 401 241 or Mr Tony Boxall on (02) 6246 1145.
