In Western Australia, the operation of the State Records Act 2000 has explicit dependencies on Freedom on Information and implicit dependencies on many other laws, regulations, and policies. This can be challenging for records management professionals to navigate, and for own colleagues in ICT, cybersecurity, and many other professional domains to understand. In this presentation, Damian will discuss some of the experiences of the State Records Office team in tackling these challenges, including lessons learned.
