What if I go on leave?
You can temporarily transfer your authorisation power to another person in your service for a limited period of up to 90 days.
For example, reasons you might apply a temporary transfer include:
- short-term leave, including recreational and personal leave
- short-term secondment or backfill equivalent to 90 days or less.
See Child Link Authoriser Temporary Transfer for further information.
If you are unable to perform your authorisation functions for more than 90 days, your Authoriser access should be removed from Child Link. For example, this may occur if you are taking extended leave, such as long service leave or sabbatical for more than 90 days. Please notify the Department of Education at childlink@education.vic.gov.au.
What if I change my role?
If you leave your role and will no longer have relevant Child Link responsibilities, you must notify the Department of Education at childlink@education.vic.gov.au at least 4 weeks prior to leaving your role.
You should provide the following details in your email:
- your full name
- your role
- your organisation
- your contact information (including service-based email address and phone number)
- the date by which you should be removed.
You should provide the name, organisation and email address of the person who will take over your responsibilities as an Authoriser. If more than one person will take over your Authoriser role, you should provide the names of the Child Link Users who will be transitioned to each of the new Authorisers.
If you have not identified the person who will take over your responsibilities, please indicate this as part of your email and confirm when this information will be available and provide an alternative contact email for follow up.
You should also inform all your Child Link Users of your request to be removed from Child Link.
If you are also a Child Link User, you should ask the person acting as your Authoriser to remove your User account from Child Link.
