Chapter 4–Management and accountability

Records management

Records management services continued to be provided by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet under a memorandum of understanding, and an outposted staff member of that department worked on site at Old Parliament House part time.

The agency’s first Records Authority was formally approved by the National Archives of Australia in early 2010–11 and is now in operation.

In 2010–11, the agency undertook a major project to sentence old files, using contracted services from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. A total of 3,529 files created prior to 2010 were sentenced through the project, which greatly increased the efficiency of agency record keeping.
