New Participant Information and Consent Form (PICF) template

The La Trobe Office of Ethics, Integrity, and Biosafety, in collaboration with the MindCare Collective, has developed a new Participant Information and Consent Form (PICF) template to support researchers.

This template is intended to assist researchers in meeting ethical requirements while promoting clear, accessible communication with participants, particularly those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.

The template should be adapted to suit individual study contexts and relevant institutional ethics requirements.
