INTRODUCTION
The Records Disposal Schedule – For Preserving Records Containing Information That May Allow People to Establish Links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Heritage is the official authority for the disposal of Territory Records that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage. It is one of a series of Records Disposal Schedules authorised by the Director of Territory Records in accordance with provisions of the Territory Records Act 2002. It is used in conjunction with other relevant Records Disposal Schedules.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Records Disposal Schedule is to provide for preserving records containing information that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage in the control of ACT Government Agencies.
SCOPE
This Records Disposal Schedule applies to records created or maintained by ACT Government Agencies. It applies to records in any format, including electronic records. It does not replace or supersede any existing Records Disposal Schedule, and must be used in conjunction with existing Records Disposal Schedules.
AUTHORITY
The Director of Territory Records, in consultation with stakeholders and the Territory Records Advisory Council, has approved this Records Disposal Schedule for use. The schedule does not take effect until it has been incorporated into an agency's Records Management Program that has been signed off by the Principal Officer of the agency.
Even so, agencies using this Records Disposal Schedule should apply it with caution. They should be aware that the authorisations for disposal are given in terms of the Territory Records Act 2002 only. Agencies must not dispose of records in contravention of this or other Records Disposal Schedule(s) or other requirements.
This Records Disposal Schedule will remain in force until a new schedule supersedes it or the Director of Territory Records withdraws it from use.
STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIP TO THE TERRITORY VERSION OF KEYWORD AAA
Most ACT Records Disposal Schedules have a hierarchical structure that reflects arrangements according to functions and activities, rather than by subject, and this also reflects a close relationship to the Territory Version of Keyword AAA. The Territory Version of Keyword AAA is the general administrative thesaurus produced by the Territory Records Office.  This Records Disposal Schedule (RDS) for preserving records containing information that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage does not have a hierarchical structure that reflects arrangements according to functions and activities and is based on records with a common recordkeeping requirement outside of the function and activity structure.
This Records Disposal Schedule (RDS) for preserving records containing information that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage may affect the operation of other Records Disposal Schedules. This RDS takes precedence when information that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage is found during sentencing using another RDS.
The conditions for disposal contained in this RDS are minimum requirements. An agency may keep records for a longer period where considered necessary. Reasons for longer retention could include legal requirements, administrative needs or where records could have a cultural or artistic value.
An agency must not dispose of any records where it is aware of possible legal action for which the records may be required as evidence or if there is a current records disposal freeze in effect.
GUIDELINES FOR USE
Coverage of authority
The Records Disposal Schedule – For preserving records containing information that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage:
•	covers all records;
•	is to be used in conjunction with other relevant RDSs;
•	specifies the minimum conditions under which may be disposed of; and
•	is applicable to records created and maintained in any format, including: 
o	cards
o	registers
o	files
o	microfilm
o	COM (computer output microfiche)
o	electronic records, including various electronic media
o	objects
o	any other formats.
Layout of the schedule
This Records Disposal Schedule begins with an introduction incorporating definitions. The structure of the disposal classes is then described.

CUSTODY OF RECORDS
Custody of all records remains the responsibility of the relevant agency unless formal transfer of custody has occurred. Although physical custody may be outsourced, responsibility for custody cannot be outsourced.
All records must be managed in accordance with the agency’s Records Management Program, which must comply with the requirements of all Records Management Standards. 
DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS
When the approved disposal date for the destruction of a record has been reached, and all other conditions required before destruction have been met, appropriate arrangements for a record’s destruction should be made. It is the responsibility of each agency to ensure that its records are destroyed in a secure and appropriate manner as indicated in the agency Records Management Program.
UPDATING THE RECORDS DISPOSAL SCHEDULE
Records Disposal Schedules are reviewed and updated from time to time. For suggested amendments or alterations to this schedule please contact the Director of Territory Records.
ASSISTANCE IN USING THE RECORDS DISPOSAL SCHEDULE
Agencies requiring any assistance in the interpretation or implementation of any Records Disposal Schedule are encouraged to contact the Director of Territory Records.
RELATED RECORDS DISPOSAL SCHEDULES
The following exemplar Records Disposal Schedules may cover the disposition of relevant records in the first instance; however, if information that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage in the control of ACT Government Agencies is found when sentencing under another Records Disposal Schedule, this one takes precedence.
Other instances not specifically listed below may also be within the scope of this Records Disposal Schedule; for instance specific committees, grants, funding, subsidies, scholarships, employment or other strategies or programmes requiring proof of aboriginality or Torres Strait Island heritage; however, if  such information that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage in the control of ACT Government Agencies is found when sentencing under another Records Disposal Schedule, this one takes precedence.

Records Disposal Schedule (RDS)
A Notifiable Instrument created under S.19 of the Territory Records Act 2002 granting permission to dispose of particular classes of records after a specified period of time. Some records may not be disposed of and must be retained as Territory Archives. The Notifiable Instrument may impose additional conditions.

Records of an Agency
Records in written, electronic or any other form, under the control of an agency or to which it is entitled to control, kept as a record of its activities, whether it was created or received by the agency.
Recordkeeping Systems
