Records Management

Welcome to the University of Newcastle Records Management Office! We're here to help staff fulfil their recordkeeping obligations by providing information and services related to record management. The records you keep:

Document the University's transactions
Ensure that the University meets legal, administrative and audit requirements
Assist in the effective operations of the University
Provide continuity and create the University's corporate memory

Under the State Records Act 1998 (NSW), records of the University are records of the State. As a staff member, this means that you must:

Create full and accurate records of the activities in which you take part
Take responsibility for the safe custody of records created or received in the transaction of University business
Only dispose of records with appropriate authority

We can provide you with further information about your responsibilities. We also offer assistance and training with all aspects of University record management.
