The letter, which has yet to receive a response, states that recent royal commission reports on high exposure issues have recommended improvements to the management of records and data, and yet the government is not responding.

The article below has been published by Mandarin, which is an online newsfeed for 1.5 million public service executives, and the quotes provided were information from RIMPA as well as other pertinent voices.

UPDATE
After last Friday’s published article about the state of records management in the APS, RIMPA has been working with our PR company to continue the momentum with a further article with Innovation Australia and media interviews with other media resources scheduled throughout the week.
