Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest

Important note regarding disclosure of potential conflicts of interest

ANZCA policy requires disclosure of all financial relationships between a speaker and the commercial supporter (if applicable) or with the manufacturer of any product or class of products they plan to discuss. This policy is designed to provide the audience with an opportunity to review any affiliations between a speaker and supporting organisations to determine the potential presence of bias or influence over content.

This policy is not intended to prevent a speaker with such affiliation or relationship from participating.

Disclosure should be made using a slide at the beginning of your presentation.

Examples of relationships that should be disclosed include but are not limited to:

  • Any direct financial interest in a company whose interests are in the area(s) covered by the educational material.
  • Investments held by the speaker in a relevant company.
  • Membership on a relevant company’s advisory board or similar committee.
  • Current or recent participation in a clinical trial sponsored by a relevant company.
  • Assisting in the design of clinical studies concerning the use of products manufactured by a relevant company.
  • Participating in clinical studies using products produced by a relevant company.
  • Research by the speaker sponsored by a relevant company.
  • Paid speaker by a relevant company.
  • The speaker holds a patent for a product referred to in the presentation or marketed by a relevant company.

To ensure that audiences receive complete information, speakers who are not involved with the industry should inform them that they have nothing to disclose and cannot identify any potential conflict of interest.

NOTE: Any images or reproduced work included in your presentation must acknowledge the original author(s).

Conflict of interest: As per the A&IC author guidelines, authors must declare in their abstract whether or not they have a conflict of interest, i.e. personal, professional or business affiliation relevant to the paper. This should be noted in the body of their abstract if they wish for it to be considered for publication.
