All proposals and amendment applications must be submitted to the Research Ethics Office (animal.ethics@anu.edu.au) by the updated submission deadlines, as listed in the table below. 

After receiving your ethics application, the Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) may request further comment or clarification from you before the meeting date. 

We strongly recommend that you prepare your application early to allow sufficient time for review and feedback prior to submission. If you have a protocol that is due for renewal, we recommend submitting your renewal application at least two AEC meetings prior to your end date.
