As part of this journey, Paula will be sharing the processes implemented to support the remediation efforts, with the hope that their experience can assist and inspire other organisations embarking on similar paths.

What is the Records Management Network?
The Records Management Network (RMN) was established to provide a forum for knowledge exchange and discussion on issues affecting records management in the Victorian public sector. Its members principally consist of those responsible for records management and archives in public bodies in Victoria. Key objectives of the network are to:
- provide advice to members on compliance requirements arising from changes to legislation and PROV recordkeeping standards
- provide advice to members on the development and use of information technology applications to enable good records management practices
- provide the opportunity for training and skill sharing of members.
Typically, PROV hosts the major network event annually, as well as hosting smaller workshops and forums throughout the year as opportunities arise.
