Declarations
:
: Studies involving consensus process are not required to obtain ethics according to the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research developed jointly by the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Australian Research Council and Universities Australia. Consequently, projects building consensus among experts are not required to obtain formal ethical approval according to policy at the University of Technology Sydney provided participants agree to be identified on reports. It was made clear during recruitment that participation was voluntary, and that completion of Stage 1 and/or attendance at the meeting for Stages 2 to 5 would be taken as evidence for consent. Participation included an understanding that names would be published, in accordance with common practice for consensus studies [CitationRef removed]. However, each participant’s responses to the survey remained anonymous. Participants also reserved the right to discontinue participation at any time. These terms were repeated at commencement of the meeting. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations, for example the Declaration of Helsinki.
