Parkville, Victoria, Australia The Florey Institute Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year
About Us

The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health is a medical research institute specialising in the brain and mind and is one of the world's top 10 brain research centres. We employ exceptionally talented people who work to solve the greatest brain and mind challenges of our era. Our staff and students are the bedrock of our research and success, and we strive for excellence by fostering partnerships and empowering people. At the Florey our mission-driven culture enables our people to collaborate, thrive, learn, make ground-breaking discoveries and advance humanity through brain and mind science.

As part of its research activities, The Florey is committed to ensuring the ethical, humane, and responsible care and use of animals for scientific purposes, and insists upon the highest standards for animal care and use.

About the Role

The primary responsibility of the Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) is to ensure, on behalf of the institution, that all activities involving animals for scientific purposes are conducted in compliance with the Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes (the Code) and relevant government legislation.

As such, all members of the AEC play a critical role in ensuring the ethical, humane, and responsible care and use of animals at the Florey.

The Florey is seeking expressions of interest for dedicated volunteers to join our AECs as Category C (animal welfare) members, as stipulated in the Australian Code:

  • A person with demonstrable commitment to, and established experience in, furthering the welfare of animals, who is not employed by or otherwise associated with the institution, and who is not currently involved in the care and use of animals for scientific purposes. Veterinarians with specific animal welfare interest and experience may meet the requirements of this category. While not representing an animal welfare organisation, the person should, where possible, be an active member of, and endorsed by, such an organisation.

Duties will include:

  • Attending AEC meetings (~4 hours per meeting, 6-11 meetings per year) at our Parkville campus.
  • Reading, and commenting on, meeting materials.
  • Some out-of-session reviews.
  • Participation in annual facility inspections.

The role is voluntary, but an honorarium sitting fee will be provided

As a member of a Florey AEC, you will receive the following benefits:

  • An Honorarium to support costs you incur associated with performing your role and attending meetings
  • A working lunch at in-person meetings
  • Training support for your role as an AEC member
  • The opportunity to understand the cutting-edge science activities being performed at the Florey
  • Development of knowledge related to the legislative framework governing animal use in research and teaching
