In response to feedback from early childhood education services, Nominated Supervisors can now become Child Link Users.
All services that offer funded Three-Year-Old and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten can access Child Link.
Up to 3 Victorian Institute of Teaching-registered early childhood teachers in each service can already be Child Link Users.
There will be a phased approach to support Nominated Supervisors to gain access to Child Link. This will happen in partnership with Early Childhood Improvement Branch teams and peak bodies.
