Gene Technology
The nationally consistent legislative scheme for gene technology is comprised of the Commonwealth Gene Technology Act 2000 and Gene Technology Regulations 2001, and corresponding State and Territory legislation.
The University of Adelaide Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) administers gene technology regulatory compliance at the University and acts as an interface with the Australian Government Office of the Gene Regulator (OGTR) for the University. All University personnel who propose to deal with GMOs must obtain the appropriate approvals for their GMO work from the IBC and where necessary the OGTR prior to commencing the work. All non-university personnel intending to work with GMOs in University premises must also obtain the appropriate approvals from the IBC.
Adelaide Compliance & Ethics System (ACES)
ACES is the University’s new online research compliance and ethics system for managing Animal Ethics, Human Research Ethics, and Gene Technology/Biosafety applications.
ACES is now live for all 3 domains: Animal Ethics, Human Research Ethics, and Gene Technology/Biosafety!
