Low Risk Applications

Southern Adelaide LHN (SALHN) and all regional local health networks now require all low risk applications to be submitted via Research GEMS.

Hard copy LNR forms will no longer be accepted.

Researchers will no longer be able to upload ZIP files in Research GEMS

This is to ensure documents are captured individually and categorised correctly. If you have a specific need to provide a ZIP file, please contact your research office.

Need assistance with Research GEMS?

If you require assistance with your application, please contact the Research Office that you will be submitting to. Contact details are available on the SA Health website.

User guides are available via the Research GEMS support page.
