Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to individuals requiring some understanding of relevant theoretical knowledge relating to recordkeeping functions. It is not assumed that individuals at this level would have responsibility for supervising the work of others; however it is assumed that as a recordkeeping practitioner their work will support effective recordkeeping and governance practices across the organisation.
The application is in relation to the retrieval of records from an existing business or records system that has guidelines and processes to assist in providing information in response to basic requests. The location of records will be performed under supervision or in consultation with more senior staff or users of the system.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to receive a request and to deliver the record or information about the record.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
