Training and access

All users must complete facility-specific training before gaining independent access to shared research equipment.

Training includes:

  • General Inductions: Covering fundamental principles, equipment operation, and safety protocols.
  • Instrument-Specific Training: Hands-on instruction tailored to researchers’ specific applications.
  • Refresher & Advanced Training: Ongoing skill development and troubleshooting support.

Bookings and facility use

  • Licensed users have access to online booking systems for equipment scheduling.
  • Contact facility staff for training, troubleshooting, or equipment-specific queries.

Attribution and authorship

All research using Curtin MRI facilities must acknowledge the relevant facility in publications. Where significant intellectual contributions are made by facility staff, authorship should be considered.
