I refer to the recommendation in the State Records Commission 2017-18 Annual Report that a complementary compliance monitoring regime should be implemented as soon as resourcing permits to ensure government organisations are compliant with Record Keeping Plans, and ask: (a) does
the Minister agree that the new regime is required; and (b) will
the Minister provide the resources required for the new regime: (i) if
yes, what resources and when; and (ii) what
is the cost of the added resources?

(a) The current regime for monitoring compliance by government organisations with their Record Keeping Plans under the State Records Act 2000 (the Act) is by self-evaluation, as part of the record keeping plan review cycle.
(b) State Records Office (SRO) operates within its budget allocation and the evaluation of compliance by government organisations with their record keeping plans is not possible within the current allocation. Existing activities undertaken by the SRO, including evaluation of record keeping plans and record keeping plan reviews submitted by agencies, contribute to compliance monitoring activity. SRO also undertakes inquiries into breaches or possible breaches of the Act on behalf of the State Records Commission.
(i-ii) Not applicable
