Key highlights

Any sensitive information, such as a person’s home address or a protected location such as a refuge should not be recorded or included in an outlet’s name.
You can't create a new outlet that has an identical name and locality as an existing outlet or edit an outlet to mirror an existing outlet’s name and locality.
Each outlet must be assigned the program activity(s) that it delivers.
Program activities are pre-loaded from your grant agreement. You can't select a program your organisation is not funded to deliver.
Your program activity start and end date is also pre-loaded from your grant agreement.
Creation of outlet requests should occur before the close of a reporting period.
The Data Exchange helpdesk may take up to (10) business days to approve an outlet.
The use of * & % # @ should not be included in the outlet free text fields.
