13Tis detailed in Section 4.3 of this Notice of Decision and I have found that
these documents are subject to a claim of disclosing of information provided to the University in
confidence.
In this Notice of Decision I will explain my reasons. To meet the requirements of section 61 of the
GIPA Act, I need to tel you:
(a)
the reasons for my decision and the findings on any important questions of fact
underlying those reasons; and
(b)
the general nature and format of the records containing the information you asked
for, with reference to the relevant public interest considerations against disclosure
(see the attached Schedule of Documents).
Information not held by the University
I am informed that Macquarie University does not hold a document within the scope of Point 5 of
your application as set out above. The research is ongoing, and the Human Research Ethics
Committee (HREC) approves research for a five (5) year period, contingent upon annual
reports. Accordingly, there has been no final report submitted for this research.
I have determined, under section 58 1 (b) of the GIPA Act,
that the information you seek is not held
by the University.
In my view, greater weight should be given to not releasing personal information in circumstances
where the information is not publicly available and, on that basis, the personal information has been
redacted.
You can ask for a review of this decision. For details about how to do so, see part
9 of this Notice.

Searches for information
Under the GIPA Act, we must conduct reasonable searches for the government information you
asked for in your application. I have searched our records to find any information that fal s within the
scope of your application.
How Macquarie University’s Ethics Application electronic records are organised
Al staff and students who wil be conducting research must apply to Macquarie University’s Human
Research Ethics Committee (HREC) for ethics review. Macquarie University’s Human Research Ethics
System is based on Infonetica’s Research Management Software. The software is © Infonetica Ltd
2025 Version 2.14.4. i.e., research ethics compliance management software. All applications and
amendments must be submitted online using the
Forms for Research Applications (FoRA) system, i.e., the Macquarie University name for Infonetica.
The
(FoRA) system has designated the Ethics Application relevant to your information access
application as the
Human Ethics Applications (HREA) v1.0 16359 - McLel an - SERVICE - Federal Department of
Education Voluntary Mental Health and Wel being Check Tool for Australian Schools
Accordingly, the records search for the above ethics application focused on the
(FoRA) system and
the
records of the Macquarie University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC).
The Chief Investigator (CI) for the above human research project is Dr. Lauren Frances McLel an PhD;
Master of Clinical Psychology, Post Doctoral Position at Macquarie University (Source:

application. No relevant records for this information access application were located.
The STAR system does hold the metadata of records of physical files for Human Research Ethics
Applications prior to the implementation of the
(FoRA) system. In terms of these hard copy records
(database “1,2,3” count yielded 4,905 results with the records having a date range from 1999 to
2018) and were created
prior to the date range of Dr. McLellan’s research project and relate to other
human research projects. Accordingly, this historic archive of ethics applications was found to be out
of scope of your access application.

The public interest test
Under section 9(1) of the GIPA Act, you have a legally enforceable right to access the information you
asked for, unless there is an overriding public interest against its disclosure.
Further, under section 5 of the GIPA Act, there is a presumption in favour of disclosing government
information unless there is an overriding public interest against its disclosure.
To decide whether or not there is an overriding public interest against disclosure of the information
you asked for, I applied the public interest test, which is set out in section 13 of the GIPA Act.
I applied the public interest test by:
(a) identifying any public interest considerations in favour of disclosure;
(b) identifying any relevant public interest considerations against disclosure; and
(c) deciding where the balance between them lies.
GIPA Act Application 25 171 Notice of Decision
5
Notice of Decision
I did this in the way required by section 15 of the GIPA Act, which is:
(a) in a way that promotes the objects of the GIPA Act;
(b) with regard to any relevant guidelines issued by the Information Commissioner;
(c) without taking into account the fact that disclosure of information may cause
embarrassment to, or a loss of confidence in, the Government (as that fact is
irrelevant);
(d) without taking into account the fact that disclosure of information might be
misinterpreted or misunderstood by any person (as that fact is irrelevant); and
(e) with regard to the fact that disclosure cannot be made subject to any conditions on
the use or disclosure of information.
4.1 Public interest considerations in favour of disclosure
Under section 12(1) of the GIPA Act, there is a general public interest in favour of disclosing
government information. Section 12(2) of the GIPA Act sets out some examples of other public
interest considerations in favour of disclosure. However, I am not limited to those considerations in
deciding your application.
I find the following considerations in favour of disclosure are relevant to your application:
•
Disclosure could reasonably be expected to inform the public about the operations of
the University and its policies and practices for dealing with human research ethics
matters before it.
•
Disclosure could improve decision making by increasing transparency
•
Disclosure could also reveal the reason for decision by the University and any
background or contextual information that informed the decision.
4.2 Personal factors of the application
I can also take into account any personal factors of your application, under section 55 of the GIPA
Act. This section of the Act does not apply to this application.
4.3 Public interest considerations against disclosure
When applying the public interest test, the only public interest considerations against disclosure that
I can take into account are those set out in the table to section 14 of the GIPA Act. To show that they
are relevant to the information you asked for, I need to consider whether they could reasonably be
expected to have the effect outlined in the table.
I have identified the following considerations against disclosure as being relevant to your application:
GIPA Act Application 25 171 Notice of Decision

Notice of Decision
The Human Research Ethics Committee exists to help students and staff do their research ethical y,
which means respecting the rights and wellbeing of all who participate in it or may be affected by it,
minimising any risks of potential harm, and ensuring, where possible, participants receive some
benefit from the research. The Human Research Ethics Committee is not there to hinder research or
make it difficult, beyond ensuring the appropriate steps are taken to ensure researchers act ethically.
The Committee advises, comments, and reviews the methods or content of the research project(s)
which have a bearing on the ethics of the research
.
Clause 1 of the table in section 14 of the GIPA Act deals with responsible and effective government -
There is a public interest consideration against disclosure of information if disclosure of the
information could reasonably be expected to have one or more of the fol owing effects:
(d) prejudice the supply to an agency of confidential information that facilitates the effective
exercise of that agency’s functions,
Documents 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 2A, 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 5, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E, 6A, 7, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E, 7F,
7I, 9, 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D, 9E, 9F, 9G, 9H, 9I, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 10B, 11, 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E, 11F, 11G,
11H, 11I, 11J, 11K, 11L, 11M, 11N, 11O, 13, 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D, 13E, 13F, 13G, 13H, 13I, 13J, 13K,
13L, 13M, 13N, 13Q, 13O, 13Q, 13R, 13S, and 13T, contain confidential information supplied to the
University I.e., provided to university decision makers and reviewers. The confidential quality of the
information is either explicit or may be inferred from the nature of the relationship between the
informer and person informed. If the information was publicly released under the GIPA Act the
information is unlikely to be provided again in full form (or may be provided in a form that is less full
or useful) and without this information the University’s obligation to provide comprehensive ethical
reviews of research projects is significantly diminished.
(e) reveal a deliberation or consultation conducted, or an opinion, advice or
recommendation given, in such a way as to prejudice a deliberative process of government
or an agency,
Documents 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 2A, 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 5, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E, 6A, 7, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E, 7F,

11H, 11I, 11J, 11K, 11L, 11M, 11N, 11O, 13, 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D, 13E, 13F, 13G, 13H, 13I, 13J, 13K,
13L, 13M, 13N, 13Q, 13O, 13Q, 13R, 13S, and 13T contain information that is of the kind that may
reveal a deliberation, or any opinion or advice in such a way as to prejudice a deliberative process of
the University. This is because human research ethics reviews carried out by University rely on the
full and frank disclosure of their views, opinions, and research methodologies (in ethical terms) and
there is a risk that researchers will be less forthcoming in future. Without all relevant information,
deliberative processes may be adversely impacted.
(f) prejudice the effective exercise by an agency of the agency’s functions,
Documents 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 2A, 3, 3A, 3B, 3C, 5, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E, 6A, 7, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E,

13L, 13M, 13N, 13Q, 13O, 13Q, 13R, 13S, and 13T contain confidential information of human
research projects provided under a strictly confidential framework. The release of documents
detailing the ethics process under the GIPA Act in effect to the world would undermine the process
of this and future confidential communication where the guarantee of confidentiality has been
breached. University officers, students, and individuals could be expected not to trust ethics review
communication processes where details of applications are released. Future responses would then
reflect this lack of trust. Macquarie University has an obligation to maintain and promote an
environment or research integrity release of information concerning sensitive issues would have a
detrimental effect on this obligation. Ethical review board’s feedback help ensure that a researcher
has taken the appropriate steps to protect participant privacy and confidentiality
(g) found an action against an agency for breach of confidence or otherwise result in the
disclosure of information provided to an agency in confidence,
Ethics applications are considered confidential. When researchers submit an ethics application to
the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) the information provided is confidential and only the
members of the HREC and the Ethics Secretariat are able to access the information included in the
applications.
The Human Ethics Terms of Reference requires the Ethics Secretariat to keep al documents secure
and confidential –
Clause 13.3 "Files will be kept securely and confidentially in accordance with the state and federal
privacy legislation and the State Records Act" (p.10).
The HREC must sign a confidentiality agreement prior to joining the committee: -
Clause 7.4 "All members including the Chairperson and Deputy Chairs will receive a letter of
appointment. The letter of appointment will include the date of appointment, length of tenure,
indemnity and termination. Members will also be provided with an orientation package and wil be
asked to sign a confidentiality agreement which indicates that all matters of which the member
becomes aware during the course of their work on the HREC (Medical Sciences) will be kept
confidential and that any conflicts of interest will be declared".
Clause 3 of the table in section 14 of the GIPA Act deals with Individual rights, judicial processes and
natural Justice - There is a public interest consideration against disclosure of information if
disclosure
of the information could reasonably be expected to have one or more of the fol owing effects:
(a) reveal an individual's personal information.
Documents
1, 1B, 1F, 3B, 5, 5B, 7A, 9A, 11A and 13A contain information including individual names,
financial information, employment information and other personal information.
In circumstances where the personal information is not publicly available (and the effect of a release
of information under GIPA is, in effect, release to the world at large) release under GIPA is a relevant
consideration. In addition, MQ is a statutory body with obligations under the Privacy and Personal
GIPA Act Application 25 171 Notice of Decision

Notice of Decision
Information Protection Act and the release of personal information could cause Macquarie University
to contravene an information protection principle in that Act.
With regard to Privileged Information, I provide the fol owing details –
Documents 1C, 1D, and 1E contain information in the scope of your application that is of a kind
covered by Schedule 1 of the GIPA Act. Section 14(1) of the GIPA Act states:
"It is to be conclusively presumed that there is an overriding public interest against disclosure of any
of the government information described in schedule 1."
Clause 5 of Schedule 1 of the GIPA Act is as follows:
"5 Legal professional privilege:
(1) It is to be conclusively presumed that there is an overriding public interest against
disclosure of information that would be privileged from production in legal proceedings on
the ground of client legal privilege (legal professional privilege) unless the person in whose
favour the privilege exists has waived the privilege.
(2) An agency in whose favour legal professional privilege exists is required to consider
whether it would be appropriate for the agency to waive that privilege before the agency
refuses to provide access to government information on the basis of this clause
(3) A decision that an agency makes under subclause (2) is not a reviewable decision under
Part 5 of the Act.
The information identified in the Schedule of Documents i.e., Documents 41, 49, 52, and 52A and
part of Document 49 as being subject to Schedule 1 clause 5 are confidential communications
between University officers and Maddocks for the sole or dominant purpose of
the provision of legal advice and attract a claim of legal professional privilege. As required by the
GIPA Act, I have given consideration to whether it would be appropriate for the University to waive
its privilege. Given the confidential nature of all Legal Services Advice records and the necessary
protection of any and all lawyer/client relationships I do not consider that it would be appropriate for
Macquarie University waive privilege.
In order for legal professional privilege to apply, each element of legal professional privilege must be
satisfied. I find that the essential elements of legal professional privilege which derive from sections
118 and 119 of the Evidence Act 1995 (NSW) being:
• the existence of a client and lawyer relationship
• the confidential nature of the communication or document, and
• the communication or document was brought into existence for the dominant purpose of
either:
• enabling the client to obtain, or the lawyer to give legal advice or provide legal service

Notice of Decision
are present within
Documents 1C, 1D, and 1E listed below in the Schedule of Documents.
Macquarie University does not agree to waive privilege in the Privileged information.
4.4 Consultation
The information that you asked for includes information that is the type of information that in the
first instance relates to the business affairs and commercial interests of a private company and in in
the second instance relates to the affairs of the Commonwealth Government.
I was therefore
required, under section 54 of the GIPA Act, to consult with these third parties before releasing the
information.
There were objections to the release of the information.
The objections do not mean that I cannot release the information. However, I must take them into
account when making my decision. I have therefore considered them when applying and balancing
the public interest test.
A process of giving weight to objections has been carried out and this contributes to the public
interest test.
4.5 Balancing the public interest test
I have considered the relevant public interest considerations in favour of and against disclosure of
the information you requested.
Having weighed up the considerations, I have decided that there is an overriding public interest
against disclosure of some of the information. This is summarised in the attached Schedule of
Documents.
Release of additional information
I have decided to provide you with the following additional information, as it may be of interest to
you:
•
The Macquarie University Human Research Ethics Policy is located at -
https://policies.mq.edu.au/document/view.php?id=206#policy
• A copy of the Macquarie University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) Terms
of Reference November 2017 Version 1.5 is provided with this Notice of this
Decision.
Section 76 of the GIPA Act allows me to do this.

Access
5.1 Form of access
You wil be given a copy of the information that I have decided can be released. As discussed, there is
an overriding public interest against disclosure of some but not all of the information. You will
therefore find that some of the information has been redacted, as allowed by section 74 of the GIPA
Act.
5.2 Deferral of access
Under section 78 of the GIPA Act, I have decided to defer your access to some of the information.
This is because
of the objections of two third parties please see section 5.3 for further information
on this matter.
5.3 Third party review rights
As set out earlier in this Notice, I consulted with
third parties about your application and they
objected to the information being disclosed. Since I have decided to give you access to some of the
information, despite the
objections, they are entitled to ask for a review of the decision to disclose
the information (under section 80(d) of the GIPA Act). Please see part
[8] for more information about
review rights.
The third parties have 20 working days to ask for an internal review and I cannot release the
information to you while their review rights are pending, or while the decision is under review.
If a third party asks for an internal review of the decision, I will let you know.
If a third party does not seek an internal review, I will release the information to you on
26 August
2025.

Processing charges
No processing charges were raised for this application.

Disclosure log
If information that would be of interest to other members of the public is released in response to a
formal access application, an agency must record certain details about the application in its
‘disclosure log’(under sections 25 and 26 of the GIPA Act).
In the letter acknowledging receipt of your valid application, sent on
17 June 2025 you were told
about the disclosure log. You were also advised of your right to object to the inclusion of details
about your access application in the disclosure log, in certain circumstances (for example, if you seek
access to your own personal information).
