Animal Ethics

The University of New England is committed to complying with the highest standard of ethics and research integrity. The University's Code of Conduct for Research Rule outlines what is expected from everyone engaged in research at UNE with standards of responsible and ethical conduct. The AEC uses guidelines set out in the Australian Code for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes.

All staff, students, and external researchers seeking to conduct research or teaching projects that involve the use of live vertebrate animals, and higher order invertebrates (cephalopod and decapod crustaceans), at the University of New England must apply to UNE's Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) for ethical review. Please review the AEC Operating Procedures for more information.

To access UNE SOP's and the Program of Veterinary Care you will need to log-in with your UNE credentials. If you are unable to access please email animalethics@une.edu.au and the relevant SOP's /Program of Veterinary Care can be provided.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
