About our RDA projects
To streamline the approach to disposal and “future proof” our Retention and Disposal Authorities (RDAs) as much as possible, we encourage the development and use of RDAs based around broad functions.
Public Record Office Victoria (PROV) does not require each agency to have its own specific RDA unless it is a high risk or high value function.
Please contact us for further information about our RDA projects.
RDA projects currently underway
| Agency-Project | Description |
| Human Resource Function |
PROV is in the process of replacing and modernising PROS 07/01 RDA for Common Administrative Functions. The RDA requires replacement to provide sufficient coverage for current and ongoing administrative practices of the Victorian Public Service. The first RDA issued as part of this project will cover the following Human Resources functions: employee management; health, wellbeing and safety; industrial relations; and staff development. |
|
Public Health |
The Department of Health (DoH), in collaboration with COVID-19 Quarantine Victoria, is developing a new RDA to replace the existing RDA for public health functions (PROS 08/15). The RDA will cover specific public health functions including communicable disease control (including pandemic responses), the development of emergency public health orders and directions, medicines and poisons regulation and chronic disease prevention/health promotion. |
| Public Transport | The Department of Transport (DoT) is working on a new RDA to replace its existing RDA, PROS 96/20. The RDA requires replacement to cover machinery of government changes, legislation and regulations, internal business practices and systems, and current recordkeeping practice and standards. DoT is responsible for delivering and regulating public transport services via train, bus, tram and some ferry services. |
| Supreme Court | Supreme Court of Victoria is working to develop a new RDA for its unique functions. The Court has an existing RDA - PROS 11/02. |
| Treasury and Finance | The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) is developing a new RDA to replace their existing RDA (PROS 99/02). The RDA will cover the specific functions of DTF including the management of Victoria's budget and the development of economic and fiscal advice and policy. |
| Labour Hire Regulation | The Labour Hire Authority (LHA) is developing a new RDA to cover its functions including licensing labour hire providers and undertaking education, enforcement and compliance activities. |
| Centre for Data Insights | The Centre for Data Insights is developing a new RDA to cover its functions including secure data sharing across government and centralised data reporting to support informed senior government decision making. |
| Office of Public Prosecutions | The Office of Public Prosecutions is in the process of replacing their current RDA, PROS 04/03. The RDA will cover records documenting the function of prosecuting serious offences and conducting criminal appeals in Victoria’s courts. |
In conjunction with these projects, we are implementing an approach to expand our existing RDAs to cover agencies that perform similar functions. On application, agencies might be included under existing disposal authorities.
