• Across-Government Records Management Strategy

The State Records Act, 1997 requires State Records of South Australia to provide a records management governance framework and services to assist agencies and authorities of South Australian Government incrementally improve their records management, tools systems and practices.

State Records has recently produced a number of strategies for agencies and authorities to comply with in the next five years; one of these is the Across-Government Records Management Strategy.

Across-Government Records Management Strategy

The Across-Government Records Management Strategy outlines six strategic goals that need to be jointly pursued by both State Records and agencies/authorities to ensure the achievement of adequate records management by the Government of South Australia. The State Government requires agencies to more effectively facilitate the development of a more open and accountable government. Adequate records management practices and the implementation of supporting systems significantly contribute to the achievement of this objective.

This strategy aims to set out a new course for the South Australian Government by addressing some fundamental records management issues and providing a framework for change. It aims to provide strategic targets as well as a planning tool for both State Records and agencies/authorities to utilise, initially over the next five years.
