There are a number of standards which directly affect recordkeeping at UNSW. Most significant of these is the Australian Standard on records management, AS ISO 15489, published in March 2002 by Standards Australia.

The following guidelines provide information on Records and Archives Office best practice processes. Although several of these documents are currently entitled 'policy', they are best defined as guidelines, providing information and advice on their chosen topics. Some guidelines may be affected by the forthcoming review of UNSW's Recordkeeping Policy.
