Records and Archive Management training

This Records and Archive Management training module has been developed to help staff understand their recordkeeping responsibilities at ACU.

ACU has a substantial volume of business records relating to its teaching, research, students, staff, finances, and other business activities. The appropriate storage, retrieval and management of these information assets are required for our university to efficiently conduct its business.

Compliance with these requirements is necessary as part of our future TEQSA re-registration process. These obligations relate to ACU’s Information Management responsibilities under Standard 7.3 of the Higher Education Standards Framework.

• Audit and Risk
