Records disposal freeze for Commonwealth superannuation records

The NT Archives Service and the NT Records Service have issued a records disposal freeze to all public sector organisations, which may be in possession of Commonwealth superannuation records, on selected personnel and related superannuation records until 31 December 2030.

These records may be needed in processing claims against the Commonwealth concerning eligibility of Commonwealth employees to join Commonwealth superannuation schemes.

The decision to impose a disposal freeze for NT government records follows agreement by the NT Minister for Arts and Museums to the request by the Commonwealth Minister for Finance and Administration and the National Archives of Australia.

The initial disposal freeze was issued from 11 January 2007-15 August 2011, and extended from 15 August 2011 until 31 December 2015. The disposal freeze has been further extended until 31 December 2030.
