Queensland State Archives has released their Recordkeeping and you awareness training, designed to introduce employees to the who, what, why and how of good recordkeeping. The training outlines in simple terms the things you need to be aware of and your recordkeeping responsibilities.
On 29 June 2018, the State Archivist released the Records Governance Policy.
The policy replaces Information Standard 31: Retention and disposal of public records and Information Standard 40: Recordkeeping.
This policy applies to all public authorities in Queensland. It contains six policy requirements focused on enabling public authorities to develop and implement individual fit-for-purpose record and information governance practices.
As of 1 June 2018, Queensland State Archives has issued a disposal freeze on records that are relevant to, or may become relevant to, an allegation of child sexual abuse.
Any records covered by this disposal freeze in an authorised retention and disposal schedule must not be destroyed until this disposal freeze is revoked.
This disposal freeze has been issued in response to the recommendations contained in the Final Report of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The IPAA Queensland Top 10 Young Leaders Awards, proudly sponsored by Davidson, acknowledge the invaluable contribution of innovative and inspirational young leaders who make a significant difference throughout the state.
