Research Application and Advisory Committee (RAAC) Approval

The Department of the Attorney General (DotAG) encourages researchers, students, and academics to conduct research that informs DotAG’s practice and policy development according to its strategic priorities.

Before conducting research that involves access to DotAG data, facilities, staff, and/or clients, you must receive approval from the Research Application and Advisory Committee (RAAC), which is the main body within DotAG dedicated to ensuring that the conduct of research activities meet the highest standards of ethical practice and are methodologically sound.

The information available on this page will help you to prepare your RAAC ethics application. Before making any application, it is strongly advised that you read the Code of Conduct and Information and Guidelines for Researchers (see downloads on this page).

Enquiries should be made to RAAC@justice.wa.gov.au.
