Informed Consent: Clinic policies, rules and processes

In 2014 ACART carried out a subproject as part of the Committee's work to develop proposed advice to the Minister of Health on informed consent requirements in respect of human reproduction.

The purpose of the subproject was to obtain robust descriptive information on clinics’ informed consent policies, rules and processes, and any challenges with informed consent. This report sets out ACART's findings, and has been shared with the three clinics involved. The clinics were all very generous in giving up time to contribute information and staff members' perspectives.
