The National Archives of Australia (NAA) Annual report claims the 2015 Digital Transition for federal government agencies is ontrack, although it notes there is still considerable room for improvement in agency uptake.

Australia's  Digital Transition Strategy was announced in October 2012 proclaiming  that records created digitally after 2015 could only be transferred to the Archives in digital formats. 

"This applies to the small percentage of records identified for long-term retention by the Archives, which is between 5 and 8 per cent of all records created by agencies. The Archives will consult with agencies on extending the scope of this strategy to encompass records that will not be retained by the Archives."

According to the NAA, "The 2012 Check-up results indicate that there has been considerable progress towards digital transition, but there is still room for improvement. For example, 91 per cent of agencies reported they were working in a digital environment or were planning to do so by the end of 2014 (compared to 80 per cent in 2011). However, 28 per cent still manage and store more than 20 per cent of their digital records in paper form (compared to 39 per cent in 2011).

"The most improved area was the level of senior and middle management support of information and records management, with 83 per cent of agencies rating this as 'adequate' or better (compared to 63 per cent in 2011). This is especially encouraging as greater engagement by senior staff with information and records management is a central aim of the Digital Transition Policy."
