Introduction to good recordkeeping
Learn about the requirements and responsibilities when creating, managing and disposing of records.
Our structure
What we do
We have developed a suite of products including policies, standards, procedures and guidance to assist public offices to meet policy objectives and compliance requirements.
We are the regulator of recordkeeping in NSW. Find out how we monitor compliance in the Government public offices and encourage high quality public services.
The Records Management Assessment Tool is a self-assessment tool focused on the management of records, information and data in NSW public offices, and how these practices align with requirements in the State Records Act.
Records retention and disposal authorities identify which records created and received by NSW public offices are required as State archives. They provide approval for the destruction of other records after minimum retention periods have been met.
