Human Research Ethics

Transition from UniSA to Adelaide University

Human Ethics Processes for the Remainder of 2025


The ‘MyRM’ Human Ethics Application System is no longer available pending the transition to Adelaide University and the launch of the new Adelaide Compliance and Ethics System (ACES).

The review of applications which have already been submitted in Research Master (but which have not yet received final approval) will resume in ACES after 05 January 2026.

UniSA foundation university researchers now have access to ACES to begin drafting ethics applications and familiarising themselves with the system. However, applications cannot be submitted in ACES by UniSA researchers until after 19 December 2025.

To access ACES, view the system user guide and for more information on the interim ethics application processes visit the interim Adelaide University intranet.

Branding will be updated to Adelaide University after a planned system update between 12 - 19 December 2025. During this update ACES will not be available.

The system will continue to be enhanced from 19 December 2025 - March 2026. While these enhancements occur, there will be some interim processes in place, primarily to support ongoing compliance reporting for existing approved projects. Interim processes will be published progressively on the AU Research Ethics and Compliance webpage from Day One.

Amendment Requests, annual reports, adverse events can still continue to be sent to Human Ethics and will be processed via the current systems.

Please contact the Human Research Ethics Office, humanethics@unisa.edu.au, with any queries.
