Retention status
Permanent. RDS 2000/17. ;;;;RDS 2000/17 requires the extraction of a sample from closed files for permanent retention. Once records relating to clients of Aboriginal or Torrens Strait Islander descent have been identified for permanent retention, the remainder are retained as records of temporary value. From these remaining records a sample must be taken. The schedule requires that the records of those clients whose name commences with the letter 'P' be retained permanently. This method is employed to ensure that the sample of records retained contains as broad a range as possible of ethnicities. ;;
