DISCLOSURES AND LEgAL COMPLIANCE � OTHER LEgAL REqUIREMENTS reporting on record Keeping Plans (State Records Act 2000, Section 61 and State Records Commission Standards, Standard 2, Principle 6) The Department of Fisheries is committed to the development and implementation of good record keeping practices and meeting our legislative requirements of the State Records Act 2000 and the State Records Commission Standard 2, Principle 6. In accordance with section 28 of the State Records Act 2000 and the expiry of the 2008 Recordkeeping Plan, the Department was required to review and submit its amended Recordkeeping Plan in 2011. The plan was formally submitted to the State Records Commission for approval and approved in April 2011. The approved recordkeeping plan, with actions and deliverables, will help the Department to achieve its recordkeeping goals and is effective until April 2016. The Department’s functional Retention and Disposal schedule requires amendment and submission to the State Records Commission for approval during financial year 2011/12. The Department is currently operating in a paper-based environment that has been recently reviewed. As a consequence of this review, it was decided that the effectiveness and efficiency of the Department’s record keeping system needed to be overhauled. The Corporate Information section is making progress to develop, and will ultimately 160 implement, an Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS), inclusive of a Business Classification scheme. The creation and appointment of the position of Chief Information Officer to support this initiative should see an EDRMS delivered in the 2012/13 financial year. Following a review of the Department’s record keeping training program, a new program was developed in 2010/11. The new program covers essential information specific to the Authority’s Record Keeping Plan, records management policies, business processes and information management initiatives. Approximately 90 per cent of current staff have completed and passed the online Record Keeping Awareness Training Course. As part of their induction, new staff members are required to complete the training within two weeks of commencing at the Department of Fisheries. In addition, new staff members are provided with one-on-one training by Corporate Information staff that includes an introduction to the record keeping practices at the Department. Public Interest disclosures (Public Interest Disclosures Act 2003, S23 (1) (f)) The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2003 came into effect on 1 July 2003, requiring the Department of Fisheries to: • Facilitate the disclosure of public interest information.
