The Public Records Information Management Engagement Network (PRIME Network) meets four times a year and is a collaborative and supportive space to discuss issues affecting records and information management within the Queensland public sector.

Our last meeting was held on Wednesday 5 February and covered the following topics:

  • your obligations to actively manage public records, including safe keeping and preserving records (digital and analogue) including:
    • for permanent value records at risk of loss or damage -
      • the need for you to assess whether permanent value records you know, or ought to reasonably know, are at risk of loss or damage and to mitigate those risks
      • existing resources to help you with these assessment and mitigation processes
      • the requirement for you to notify the State Archivist when risks to permanent value records cannot be sufficiently mitigated
    • for records which are lost or damaged -
      • the need to urgently seek advice from QSA about potential remedial action for damaged records
      • the requirement for you to notify the State Archivist
      • for damaged records, disposal cannot take place without authorisation
      • actions required to prevent a re-occurrence
  • delegations of authority for public records access under the Public Records Act 2023
  • an update on consultation on mandatory standards.
