This guide addresses ethical issues in co-production research with people with disability in the university context in Australia. It focuses on issues faced by academic researchers when they apply for ethics approval for a co-produced research project, and by ethics committees who review and approve applications.

This guide has been developed for academic researchers at UNSW Sydney and beyond, people with lived experience of disability, disability organisations, and other stakeholders who understand and appreciate the importance of co-producing research together with people who have lived experience of disability.
