Functional records disposal schedules
Under the Information Act 2002, defined Northern Territory public sector organisations must safeguard their records and must not delete or otherwise dispose of a record unless authorised to do so.
Disposal of records is permitted through the use of records disposal schedules and enable regular, planned and authorised disposal of records controlled by an agency.
In the Northern Territory (NT), there are 2 types of records disposal schedules:
- general records disposal schedules - apply to records common to most or all NT public sector organisations
- functional records disposal schedules - apply to records specific to an NT public sector organisation. You should use functional records disposal schedules in conjunction with general records disposal schedules.
Below is a list of the functional disposal schedules.
