Agencies can undertake information management tasks required under the State Records Act 1997 and State Records standards within existing agency resources, or can look to hire a consultant to undertake such tasks. These can include developing an RDS, reviewing policies and procedures, GDS 21 certification, records management training, EDRMS implementation, sentencing, and the transfer, and disposal of records.

State Records do not recommend any particular consultant nor is this a list of preferred suppliers. Please contact each consultant to discuss the services you require. Consultants will charge accordingly depending on the work and time involved.
