Accessing Child Link

The following guidance supports you to complete the steps required to access Child Link.

When your Authoriser adds you to Child Link you will receive an automated email invitation that outlines the steps you need to complete.

Follow the prompts in the invitation email you have received to register for Child Link access.

If you are an Authoriser and would like more information on how to perform your role, please see Child Link Authoriser Induction Guide.

Getting access to Child Link

If you have not yet received a Child Link invitation email, please speak to the Authoriser in your organisation. They will need to add you as a User. The Child Link Authoriser is the person in a service or school who is responsible for creating and managing Child Link accounts for Child Link Users within their organisation. If you are not sure who the Authoriser is in your organisation, please contact childlink@education.vic.gov.au
Your Authoriser will need to use your name as it appears on your employee Working With Children Clearance (WWCC) or Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) registration, and your organisation email address when adding you to Child Link.
