A government organisation's Record Keeping Plan (RKP) captures key information about processes and systems used by government organisations to manage records of information. These plans also set-out actions for the retention and eventual disposal or transfer to the State Archives.
RKP templates are available for use by new and existing State and local government organisations when developing or amending their RKP.
Please note that all RKPs must be accompanied by an RKP Self-Evaluation Checklist and Transmittal Letter (see below).
RKP documentation may be submitted via email in electronic format, preferably MS Word, so that feedback can be provided within the document.
