The international-capped 21-year-old will return to LSK Kvinner ahead of their looming Toppserien campaign after a loan deal allowed her to make a short comeback with Canberra.
Roestbakken was due to fly back to Norway this month and her departure leaves a gaping hole for a Canberra United outfit still searching for its maiden win of the season.
United's last outing was postponed due to COVID-19 cases within the club and now they will travel to Newcastle to face the Jets on Sunday, chasing a victory in a campaign that has so far returned two draws and four losses.
"It was the perfect amount of time to come back and get some games in and and play with the girls," Roestbakken said following her return to Canberra this summer.

"I've heard really great things about her from a few of the girls, so it was just it was really easy decision for me. I really wanted game time and ... to come back and play here."
