  • Function / Content
    This series consists of the correspondence of the CEO CORE - the Public Correctional Enterprise (VA 4367) of the Department of Justice VA 3085. The CORE was a service agency within the Department of Justice and was responsible for delivering the public prison services and community correctional services.

    On 1 July 2003 Corrections Victoria (VA 4819) was established when the Office of the Correctional Services Commissioner (VA 4276) integrated with CORE - the Public Correctional Enterprise (VA 4367).

  • Recordkeeping System
    Files were arranged in file number order.

    The files in this series were controlled by a computerised file management system known as RCMS or Records and Correspondence Management System. Its functions included: file number allocation, control of file titling, file tracking, and file search. RCMS also provided for the registration and control of individual items of correspondence.

    RCMS was first established within the central correspondence registry of the Attorney General's Department in 1987. In 1992, when the Attorney-General's Department was replaced by the Department of Justice, RCMS was selected as the new department's central file and correspondence management system.

    Over time, correspondence series created by different administrative areas within the Department, and sub-agencies under the Department's control, have been incorporated into the system. For purposes of file registration and thesaurus control, the Registries are more or less independent of each other. Each Registry is denoted by a simple sequential number, which is incorporated into the file number of file registered within that Registry, creating file number sequence for each Registry.

    Thi series appears to have commenced in 1996.

    A number of Registry 01, 02, 10 and 11 files have been transferred into PROV's custody (refer to VPRS 12607 (Registry 1 Corporate Management), VPRS 12830 (Registry 2 Courts and Tribunal Division), VPRS 12631 (Registry 10 Police and Corrections Directorate), VPRS 12699 (Registry 11 Correctional Services).

    File numbers consist of an annual single number combined with the Registry number.
