Australian State Records Act

The Australian State Records Act is a law that governs the management and preservation of government records in Australian states. It ensures that records created by government agencies are properly kept, managed, and accessible to the public for transparency and accountability. The Act sets rules for how long records should be retained, how they can be accessed, and establishes the responsibilities of public agencies in handling these records. Essentially, it supports the principles of good governance by ensuring that important government documents are maintained and available for future reference.
