Early Learning Centre Family Day Care In Home Care Date this form was completed: _____________________________ The personal information collected by Windermere meets the legal and funding requirements of the National Education and Care Services Act and Regulations 2011, the Commonwealth Department of Education and the Victorian State Department of Early Childhood Education and Development. The information will be solely used by Windermere in accordance with the organisation’s privacy policy and privacy statement/consent form. Windermere may be required to disclose personal information from this document to the Department of Social Services and the Department of Education and Training. The parent/guardian who has lawful authority for the child must complete this form. Please see a description of lawful authority below.
Lawful Authority: Parents: All parents have powers and responsibilities in relation to their children which can only be changed by a court order. The Education and Care Services National Regulations, 2011 refer to these powers and responsibilities as “lawful authority”. It is not affected by the relationship between the parents, such as whether or not they live together or are married. A court order, such as under the Family Law Act, may take away the authority of a parent to do something, or may give it to another person.
Guardians: A guardian of a child has lawful authority. A legal guardian is given lawful authority by a court order. The definition of “guardian” under the Education and Care Services National Act, 2010 also covers situations where a child does not live with his or her parents and there are no court orders. In these cases, the guardian is the person the child lives with who has day to day care and control of the child.
