The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2007 (Updated 2018) recognises the potential for payment of participants in research in accordance with the principles of research merit and integrity, justice, beneficence and respect. It also requires that participants be informed of any planned payments for this purpose (paragraphs 2.2.6, 2.2.9, 2.2.10, 3.1.10, 3.1.22, 3.1.29). NHMRC has developed more detailed material on this subject for researchers and reviewers in a document entitled Payment of Participants in Research: Information for Researchers, HRECs and Other Ethics Review Bodies. This document is intended to provide guidance to researchers and to reviewers of research to assist in decision-making about when payment of participants in research is ethically acceptable.
