Annual Report to the University of Adelaide Animal Ethics Committee

Annual collection of statistical data relating to animal usage and reporting on progress or completion is necessary on each project having active approval by the University of Adelaide Animal Ethics Committee in the calendar year. The continuation of approval for ongoing projects is subject to receipt and review of annual reporting.

Statistics on the number of animals used in the calendar year are collected and entered by the Office of Research Ethics, Compliance and Integrity (ORECI) into a database developed by the State Government Animal Welfare Unit to produce the collated annual University of Adelaide AEC submission to the Minister. Individual names, department and approval numbers are not included in the submission.

Reporting on the project activity provides additional details to assist the AEC and provide evidence of compliance with the Australian code of practice on the care and use of animals for scientific purposes.
