The Institute conducts a number of seminars in metropolitan and regional areas for casual relief teachers (CRTs). Teachers re-entering the work force will also find these seminars useful. Programs provide curriculum updates and skill development, along with valuable opportunities to network.

These sessions are also open to teachers returning to the work force in positions that have time fractions of less than 0.4.

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development conducts refresher courses for teachers returning to the profession. Details can be found at http://www.education.vic.gov.au/proflearning/teacher/refresh.htm.

Returning to teaching from non-practising registration

Once teachers have returned to teaching from non-practising registration, they have 12 months to provide the Institute with evidence that they have completed at least 10 days of teaching and 20 hours of professional development activities to continue their registration. At least 10 hours of the professional development activities should provide access to research and knowledge sourced from outside the immediate school or work environment.  They can include any professional development undertaken in the 12 months prior to returning from non-practising status
