Retention and Disposal Schedules

Please note that disposal freezes override authorised Disposal Schedules.

How to develop a disposal schedule

Please contact us (see link below) for information on how to develop a disposal schedule.

About Retention and Disposal Schedules

Retention and Disposal Schedules ensure that records of continuing value to the public and the government are accessible for appropriate lengths of time. Authorised Disposal Schedules are one way of managing routine disposal of short term or temporary value records, without the need to repeatedly seek authorisation from the State Archivist.

Schedules may be developed specifically to meet the unique requirements of an organisation (functional), to meet the needs of a particular industry (sector), or ‘general’ in their application (approved for use by all organisations).

Organisations who do not have a current Disposal Schedule should contact us (see link below).
