LEGISLATION16:00 - 16:10 Review Legislation
The State Records Act 1998 came into effect in 1999, replacing the Archives Act 1960.
Key records management provisions of the Act require public offices to:
1 make and keep records that fully and accurately document their operations and
administration
2 establish and maintain a records management program in conformity with standards
and codes of best practice approved by State Records
3 ensure that records are stored in conditions appropriate to their format and
preservation requirements
4 ensure that records held in digital or other technology dependent formats are
accessible for as long as they required.
Other key parts of the Act include provisions governing the disposal of records, a
statutory basis for a right of public access to records more than thirty years old,
and the transfer of records required as State archives to the custody and control
of State Records.
For more detail about who the Act applies to and public offices' recordkeeping
obligations see Summary of provisions and Key obligations under the State Records Act.
