The National Archives of Australia acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of Country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to the people, their cultures and Elders past, present and emerging.
From the Director-General
The purpose of National Archives is to provide leadership in best practice management of the official record of the Commonwealth, and ensure that Australian Government information of enduring significance is secured, preserved and made available to government agencies, researchers and the community.
National Archives contributes to and works collaboratively with other national collecting institutions to protect and promote Australian content and culture. National Archives has an additional responsibility to provide a general right of access to Commonwealth records, which differentiates us from other cultural institutions.
National Archives has set out our long-term direction in our 10-year vision document Strategy 2030: a transformed and trusted National Archives. To achieve our objective of being a world-leading digital archive, we have embarked on a period of necessary change, setting out strategies to enable, secure, connect and innovate our digital capability and service delivery.
New project funding is allowing National Archives to deliver critical projects to address backlogs for access applications, and invest in cybersecurity and digital technology to facilitate preservation of records and digital access to them. At the same time, National Archives is increasing its role in setting to right injustices of our nation's past, particularly the treatment of First Nations peoples and those impacted by past government policy.
Since commencing my tenure as the Director-General in May 2022, I have been impressed by the professionalism, diligence and passion staff have for their work in what we all understand to be challenging times. My focus in the coming years will be to create 'One National Archives', with shared goals and legislative mandates.
In the coming year, National Archives seeks to create new opportunities for engagement, collaboration and learning with government agencies, researchers and the community. Other priorities include improving legislation, scaled-up capability to digitise and preserve at-risk collections, growing workforce capability, and using technologies to assist government agencies better manage information and data.
The Corporate Plan 2022–23 (PDF 1.1 MB) outlines how National Archives will deliver against its strategic priorities over the next 4 years, with a complete set of performance measures and planned performance outcomes. The performance measures and outcomes will be used to track achievement over the year and reported in our next annual report.

Role and functions
National Archives of Australia is an Australian Government entity established under the Archives Act 1983 (the Act). It is a non-corporate Commonwealth entity (a listed entity) under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) and an Executive Agency under the Public Service Act 1999.
The mandate of National Archives is to secure, preserve and make public, the archival resources of the Commonwealth.

Operating context
National Archives provides leadership in the management of the official record of the Commonwealth, and ensures that Australian Government information is available to government agencies, researchers and the community.
National Archives, like many government agencies, is navigating environmental challenges, including reduced public trust, technological change, global shifts in leadership and populations, cybersecurity threats and tight fiscal environments.
In response, National Archives has set itself a transformative agenda to achieve world-leading archival services, contribute to the future cultural identity, and effectively manage government information and data assets.
Environment
Government’s financial priorities and impacts on National Archives
In 2021–22, National Archives received additional project funding of $67.7 million, provided over a 4-year period from 2021–22 to 2025–26, to address critical issues related to storage and digitisation of its collection.
The ongoing expansion of the collection means National Archives cannot stay ahead of increasing costs, demand and public expectations. This directly impacts on National Archives' priorities over the coming 4 years.
National Archives recognises the fiscal environment in which it operates, and is implementing measures to achieve efficiencies as well as looking at options to generate other sources of income.
Legislation reform
National Archives has sought for many years to amend its legislation. The Act requires modernisation to meet the challenges of the digital age and changing technologies. National Archives has identified proposed amendments to the Act that will support its digital transformation program and provide certainty around its functions, powers and responsibilities.
Legislative amendments are required to enable National Archives to drive delivery of its information policy objectives to further improve the management of government records, information and data, and to create opportunities for future partnerships and commercial activities.
Technological change impact and influences
As more information is created in a digital format, it is important that National Archives has the capability to archive digital material. National Archives has developed a data and digital strategy and will continue to follow the whole-of-government digital architecture and digital sourcing.
As funding opportunities arise, new digital capability will be designed and implemented. Emerging technologies, and the challenges they present for management preservation and access of digital assets, will continue to be a focus area. This work will also continue to be a source of advice to other government agencies on the management of information, data and records in emerging technology platforms.
Community expectations around access
National Archives is operating in an environment where there are community expectations around the access to the collection as well as the programs and services offered by National Archives. Meeting these expectations places significant demand on all sections responsible for enabling access to, and engagement with, the national archival collection.
This expectation starts with open and timely access to records. Access to these records has been hindered through the creation of an extensive backlog of applications and the impacts of COVID-19.
Additional funding over the next 4 years has been allocated to increase efficiency of access-related functions. This will enable the reduction of the backlog and the development of business processes, enhanced capability development and robust Section 35 agreements. These improvements, along with appropriate resourcing, will see a substantial reduction in future backlogs forming.
Expectations of researchers and the public in regards to ease of accessing the collection through reference and public engagement programs and services continues to increase. It highlights a need to increase awareness and understanding of the broader roles and responsibilities of the National Archives as a government agency and archival institution, through focused strategic external communications.
In an environment where resources are limited, reference services delivers onsite in research centres in all states and territories and through online channels, with a focus on enabling researchers to undertake self-directed searches and access online records where possible.
Description of the collection nationally is a significant program of work for National Archives. Committing to work that increases the number of records described annually at item level, and provided online through RecordSearch, allows National Archives to respond to increasing community expectations around discoverability and access. Increasing item-level description also enables broader efficiencies for reference services and client and researcher self-service, and facilitates the delivery of other public-engagement programs such as exhibitions.
The development of digital platforms to support the delivery of school and lifelong-learning programs and curated and digital services continues alongside the development of onsite and offsite programs and exhibitions – temporary and permanent – to encourage engagement with the collection.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander engagement
National Archives continues its commitment to broaden and strengthen connections to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with 2-way engagement to develop relationships to assist peoples to access collections, services and resources in culturally appropriate ways through Our way: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander protocols and the Tandanya Declaration.
National Archives engagement plan includes:
- new engagement with identified remote Aboriginal communities and organisations in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia
- new approaches for consultation and engagement, including reviewing existing memoranda of understanding with Link-Up organisations, developing new arrangements with other Link-Up organisations and providing access to National Archives' Bringing Them Home name index.
National Archives acknowledges the number of current and arising significant Aboriginal and Torres Strait issues, including past National Inquiry recommendations relating to access to archival records for First Nations peoples.
National Archives will continue to provide responses and copies of vital records for evidence for claimants to the Australian Government’s Territories Stolen Generations Redress Scheme for the duration of the scheme to 2026.
Direction of government data and information management
National Archives is responsible for leading best practice management of the official record of Commonwealth Government agencies, and the development of standards and frameworks for information management.
A series of whole-of-government inquiries between 2013 and 2019 have identified issues with poor recordkeeping affecting the public’s ability to access information.
National Archives’ whole-of-government information management policy, Building trust in the public record: managing information and data for government and community has been in effect since 1 January 2021. The policy aims to improve how agencies create, collect, manage and use information assets.
Regular release of guidance and other supporting information has occurred since the policy came into effect, ensuring that National Archives continues to lead and support the Australian Government's wider agenda to provide responsive and efficient delivery of services through digital transformation.
Capability
Workforce capability
National Archives has developed an operational workforce plan to assess current and future potential capability needs and gaps. With an emphasis on building capability, the plan sets out strategies to train and upskill its workforce to enable it to adapt to meet new and emerging challenges.
The plan sets out 4 key priorities:
- Uplifting recruitment and attraction strategies, with a focus on entry level programs to bolster a future labour pipeline, and consideration of modern flexible work practices.
- Strengthening retention, including delivery of a comprehensive mentoring program across both junior and senior levels.
- Enhancing professional management capabilities, with targeted leadership and talent management initiatives.
- Amplifying digital skills, including the development of bespoke digital-archiving training and initiatives to strengthen relationships with professional organisations in archiving.
Infrastructure capability – saving the collection
National Archives has a mandate to preserve the national archival collection. While paper records can be reliably stored in a stable condition for many decades, magnetic-tape and photographic records are far less stable, and will deteriorate beyond use with the passage of time. National Archives provides specialised storage environments and facilities to extend the life of these records. However, digitising these records is key to their preservation.
With funding secured in 2021–22, National Archives is continuing the work begun under Deadline 2025, an international call to action to save content on magnetic media at risk due to technological obsolescence or degradation. This work has been expanded to incorporate other at-risk formats with a minimum of 270,000 records to be saved by 2025. This will be achieved through National Archives’ hybrid approach to digitisation.
Specialist facilities and equipment in its National Office in Canberra and its Sydney and Melbourne offices enable fragile and sensitive records to be digitised onsite. Panels of commercial providers have also been established to undertake bulk digitisation of paper, audiovisual, photographic, aerial-film and microform records.
National Archives is increasing internal capacity and capability through procurement of new equipment and implementation of new ways to archive bulk digital records returned from vendors.
National Archives holds the records of those who have served in the Australian defence forces since Federation. This includes more than a million records of service personnel from World War II. The 4-year project to digitise World War II service records and make them available online will continue through 2022–23.
Data and digital capability
One of National Archives' highest priorities is to embed a digital end-to-end archival management capability across the agency. This requires secure, modern digital-archiving capabilities that can seamlessly preserve, manage and provide access to the national archival collection.
National Archives is implementing new digital policies and processes, and acquiring technology to ensure that the collection is identified, secured, protected and accessible for future generations. It will continue to develop and deploy agile and iterative approaches that support an end-to-end integrated archival management system and the engagement of staff with the system.
The Integrated Archival Management System (IAMS) program of work was established to deliver a contemporary digital preservation platform. Further work is underway for the continued development and upscaling of technological capability, people and processes to secure government agency information transfers, preservation and access to digitised and born-digital information.
National Archives is in the process of transitioning to the M365 cloud office collaboration platform. The platform will provide staff with new technologies for data analytics, office productivity and will use MS Teams for telephony, chat, video/audio conference and document sharing.
National Archives' cybersecurity priorities include meeting information security management controls and the whole-of-government mandate, uplifting its cyber-posture to meet the Australian Signals Directorate's Essential Eight maturity level 2.
Risk management
National Archives recognises there is potential for risk in most aspects of its operations. Effective management of risk enables it to work in a complex and challenging environment to ensure continued delivery of strategic goals and business priorities.
The Risk Management Framework forms part of the broader Corporate Governance Framework and supports consistent and systematic management of risk.
The Risk Management Framework:
- supports risk control and management
- maintains a line of sight from high-level enterprise and strategic risks
- informs staff of roles, responsibilities and accountabilities for managing risk
- establishes expectations and guidance on how risk should be identified, assessed, documented and managed
- allows innovation through balanced risk management.
National Archives has identified 6 interrelated strategic risks, and has control strategies in place.

Cooperation
National Archives develops and maintains strategic relationships within the national and international archival, information and data management sectors, as well as with key policy agencies, to enable the successful implementation of its information management policies and objectives across the Australian Government.
National Archives is the only government agency with a specific mandate to set information management requirements. Other Commonwealth agencies have responsibilities for a range of information management policy and standards.
This year, National Archives will consider how it can exercise greater influence on Commonwealth agencies that have a role in determining information management policy and standards. Specific consideration will be given to establishing a whole-of-government body to better coordinate and consolidate responsibility for government information management, recordkeeping and archiving.
National Archives works closely with regional, national and international archival communities to address common archival issues, and to evolve the role and capability of archives. Bodies with which National Archives cooperates include the Australian Society of Archivists, Records and Information Management Professionals Australasia, Australian Digital Recordkeeping Initiative, and Council for Australasian Archives and Records Authorities.
National Archives supports and participates in conferences, information sharing, skills development and collaborative projects as a member of Pacific Regional Branch of the International Council on Archives, International Council on Archives, and Digital Preservation Coalition.
