Australian Recordkeeping Framework

The Australian Recordkeeping Framework is a set of guidelines and standards that institutions, especially government agencies, follow to manage and preserve their records effectively. It ensures records are created, maintained, and stored systematically for accountability, transparency, and accessibility over time. The framework emphasizes good recordkeeping practices, proper classification, security, and eventual disposal or transfer. It helps organizations demonstrate compliance with legal and operational requirements, making sure important information remains available and reliable for future use, decision-making, and historical purposes.
