To the Editor: Spriggs and Gillam1 recently evaluated the updated guidance on ethical conduct in human research from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC),2 with particular reference to paediatric consent. The introduction in 2007 of the National Ethics Application Form (NEAF; http://www.neaf.gov.au) represented an attempt to streamline the process of obtaining ethics approval from multiple human research ethics committees (HRECs) for multicentre research.
