   3. All signatures must be included (PI, Supervisor/s, Collaborator/s, Dean/Delegate).
2. Be sure to use the current JCU Singapore template letterhead for Information Sheet and Consent Form.
3. The Psychology Clinic does not provide a walk-in service and should not be listed for people who are acutely sad or distressed (potential for distress indicates ‘More than low risk’).
