While system reforms for Out-of-Home Care and transitions from Care are ongoing, records and recordkeeping issues are continuing to impact on Care experiences and outcomes.

Join researchers, policy makers, advocates, authorities and practitioners interested in reviewing recent rights-based recordkeeping research initiatives to discuss how the profile of recordkeeping within debates about Care system reforms may be raised by co-ordinated action and advocacy.

The symposium will feature a series of short presentation highlighting various aspects of rights-based recordkeeping research

  • Leveraging Human Rights Frameworks for Care Recordkeeping – co-ordinated by Professor Melissa Castan, Castan Centre for Human Rights Law
  • Co-designing Rights-Based Recordkeeping – co-ordinated by Dr Jade Purtell, Research Fellow, Real-time Rights-based Recordkeeping Governance Project
  • Re-conceptualising Care Recordkeeping Systems – co-ordinated by Associate Professor Joanne Evans, Digital Transformation Group, Department of Human Centred Computing, Faculty of IT

This will be followed by a facilitated discussion on ways in which transformative recordkeeping research and practice agendas might be presented and promulgated for 2025 and beyond.
