State Record Keeping

Records of information are at the core of Western Australian State organisations. State records are assets which allow the government to function effectively and may be in any format on which information can be stored, including paper, film, magnetic and optical media. They provide evidence of actions and decisions made by State organisations and allow the government to account for its actions. 

Good records management is a necessary element of good governance and integrity.

The State Records Act 2000 governs the record keeping for all State organisations in Western Australia.
