Terms of reference
The HREC and TGA Clinical Trials Discussion Forum (the Forum) provides a mechanism for collaboration between the TGA and HRECs. It allows for informal discussion and information sharing on a range of emerging regulatory challenges and opportunities for clinical trials in Australia.

HRECs can send different representatives to each Forum depending on the agenda topic.
Appropriate representatives from the TGA and the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator will participate.
Any Australian HREC is welcome to join the Forum by emailing clinicaltrials@health.gov.au
Meetings and communiques
