When a revised Retention and Disposal Authority (RDA) is approved by the State Records Commission, it supersedes (or replaces) the previous RDA. Organisations must use the revised RDA to sentence and dispose of relevant records.
A revised RDA can include a General Retention and Disposal Authority (GRDA), a Sector Retention and Disposal Authority (SDA) or an organisation specific retention and disposal authority.
The revised RDA may require that certain categories of records need to be retained for longer or shorter periods than those set out in the superseded RDA.
This guideline provides instructions for resentencing records when implementing a new RDA.
