By providing improved working conditions, better training and development opportunities, and most importantly by involving its people in key decisions, Gippsland Water has been able to improve service delivery to its customers.

Sir Rupert Hamer Records Management Award

Gippsland Water won the 2004 Sir Rupert Hamer Records Management award in the category of Regional/Rural.

Gippsland Water’s application titled "From Mice to Mouse - EDMS implementation" highlighted the innovative methods that Gippsland Water has taken to manage its corporate and statutory records obligations, to ensure that both regulatory and business needs were met.

The award recognises Gippsland Water’s commitment to ensuring high levels of governance in public record keeping and confirms the conscious decision to take a strategic approach to electronic document management. It also formally recognises the diligence and hard work that has been made by many staff within the organisation.

Each year the Public Records Advisory Council offers the Sir Rupert Hamer Records Management Awards, recognising excellence and innovation in records management in the Victorian public sector and covers five different categories, including: Inner Budget Agency; Outer Budget Agency; Local Government Authority; Small Agency; and Regional and Rural Agency.
