The Release Of Student Records Form is a crucial document used across Australian educational institutions to facilitate the authorized sharing of student information while maintaining compliance with privacy legislation. This document becomes necessary when students, parents, or authorized third parties require access to educational records for purposes such as transfers, employment verification, or further education applications. The form encompasses various types of student records including academic transcripts, attendance records, and other educational documentation, ensuring proper authorization and maintaining privacy standards as required by the Privacy Act 1988 and state-specific education regulations. It serves as both a protection mechanism for student privacy and a standardized process for educational institutions to manage record release requests.
