Download the InFORMed Project template and User Guide.

The InFORMed Project template has been developed to support a participant-centred, simplified, national PICF. Our aim is to improve the efficiency and impact of health and medical research in Australia by making it easier for consumers to make decisions about participation.

The template and user guide have been through a robust development process, including consumer consultation and beta-testing. They are suitable for use across a wide range of Australian health and medical research projects. 

The March 2026 version of these documents have been updated in response to feedback, address formatting issues, and to include guidance for studies using genetic testing, and the use of withdrawal forms.
