NHMRC recognises the importance of stakeholder input into the review of the Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes (the Code).

Stakeholders will have an opportunity to be involved in the review through public consultation. Stakeholders include investigators, animal carers, institutions, animal ethics committee members, veterinarians, peak bodies, animal advocacy groups, funders, government, and members of the Australian community.

Consultation and engagement will also occur through membership of relevant advisory committees.

This webpage will be updated as the review progresses, with information about the public consultation and any other consultation activities.
