QGEA Information management guidelines
Queensland Government executives are responsible for managing information as a core strategic asset. Accountable officers should ensure information is managed throughout its lifecycle by instituting formal governance and allocating appropriate information management responsibilities to accountable officers.
The Queensland Government Enterprise Architecture (QGEA) provides guidance about the practices to follow when managing information for the Queensland Government. Executives should understand their information management and legal responsibilities. These guidelines can be used as a reference point in developing information management roles specific to the agency.
