The revised GRDASG supersedes the General Disposal Authority for State Government Information, DA 2013-017/1.
The revised GRDASG is arranged alphabetically by government activity / record category, with disposal classes assigned to each activity / category. Each activity / category can be applied to any function in the organisation, providing the broadest possible application across State government.
State organisations should use the SRO Guideline - Records Retention, Disposal and Destruction in conjunction with the relevant retention and disposal authority/ies that apply to their organisation to ensure the proper retention and disposal of State records.
Further information regarding amendments to the GRDASG can be found in the Linking Table produced by the SRO.
Note: If an organisation has a destruction memo or approval in progress, records do not need to be resentenced if there is no reduction in the retention period as per the records management advice - Resentencing Records.
Use the linking tables to check if the retention period has increased. If a retention period has increased, then the records must be resentenced to avoid the premature destruction of records.
A reference table of retentions that have increased is provided below.
