Hi 
Yes the June progress report should be fine and you can send the names separately. 
Can I get back to you on the 14 June submission date? I need to check with our Council secretariat, 
but we could potentially commission expert and methodological review on the public consultation 
draft which would then mean the 14 June submission date would work. 
Just confirming again you are likely to release the public consultation draft at the beginning of 
March (in 2 weeks!)? 
Thanks 
Steph

Hi Stephanie and Sharon, 
Thank you for your response. Just to clarify, we submitted a progress report in June in 
anticipation of public consultation last year but due to various uncontrollable delays public 
consultation didn't eventuate. Apart from the reviewer names, we don't have anything to add 
so will the June progress report be sufficient and we will send you the reviewer names 
separately as soon as we can?

Might there be any possibility that we could submit on 14 June? 
Thank you and best wishes,

Yes xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xx is the correct address to send 
correspondence to – addressed to Sharon Hoffman (copied).  
  
For expert reviewers – could you please send us around six names and contact 
details? We also contact a few additional experts identified through our contacts. 
Ideally these names are sent to us along with the progress report ‐ so before public 
consultation opens.  
  
To meet the July meeting could you please submit the guidelines to us by 31 May 
2022. If there are any problems with this please let us know. 
  
Thanks

Dear Stephanie, 
I hope you are having a great start to the year! 
We are preparing for public consultation early March for 1 month. We will 
notify you two weeks before, if not sooner, of the publication start date; and 
send you the documents associated with the public consultation process a 
week before. Do let me know if we should send these to an email other than 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xx (Sally Wright). 
We have followed the NHMRC procedures and requirements very carefully 
through the entire development process. We would like to clarify how many 
independent expert reviewers' contact details would you like us to send you? 
And would you like these details when we submit the guideline to you or 
sooner? 
Finally, is it possible to have a deadline date for when we should submit to 
you in order to be considered for the July 2022 council meeting? 
Thank you and best wishes,

Hi Mark 
  
I write earlier in the year advising of the Council dates for the rest of 
the triennium, but it sounds like it didn’t get to you. 
  
The dates are: 
26/7 July 2022 
23/24 November 2022 
29/30 March 2023 
26/27 July 2023  
29/30 November 2023 
27/28 March 2024 
26/27 June 2024 
(I have included later dates in case you plan to update the 
guideline). 
  
The procedures for public consultation and submission and 
submission (stages 3 and 4) are laid out in the NHMRC procedures 
and requirements which I urge you and your team to review before 
you plan public consultation. Please contact Sharon Hoffman 
(copied) who can set up a time with the NHMRC team to run 
through what happens next. The timelines for the next few months 
will be very tight.

You should also put together a list of Australian and international 
experts unconnected with the guideline development process that 
NHMRC can approach for expert review.  
  
Regards

Hello Geraint, we are trying to work out timeline. Do you have 
a meeting date yet for June, even early, mid or late would help. 
Best 
Mark

Hi Mark 
  
Unfortunately not yet.  
  
Our new Council has just been appointed and we 
are expecting dates to be announced any day now. 
We have your guideline booked in for a meeting 
expected around March 2022, however because of 
COVID related delays the agenda is very congested. 
If there is the possibility that you would submit for a 
mid‐year meeting instead (expected in June) it 
would be helpful to know this asap. 
  
As soon as we get confirmation of Council dates and 
your preferred date for submission Sharon (copied) 
will contact you to go through the next stepsin 
detail.
