Gender Equality Action Plan
Our 2021-2024 Gender Equality Action Plan (GEAP) shows how we are working towards gender equality across VIT. It explains the actions we are taking to create a fair, respectful and inclusive workplace.
The plan meets our obligations under the Gender Equality Act 2020 and supports gender equality across our workforce, leadership, policies and workplace culture.
Development of VIT’s next GEAP for 2026-2030 is now underway, due to be submitted to the Victorian Gender Equality Commission in May 2026. This plan builds on our previous plan and sets out actions to continue promoting gender equality across our organisation.
Review reports
Reform Recommendations for Sustaining and Growing our Teacher Workforce
Teacher workforce pressures are being experienced across Australia and overseas. Some Victorian schools are facing greater challenges than others.
To help address immediate workforce needs, on 18 December 2024 VIT received a Direction from the Minister for Education to undertake a review of our approach to:
- how we assess applications from teachers who:
- completed their qualifications overseas, and
- have teaching experience overseas
- the Permission to Teach (PTT) policy and how it is applied.
The VIT has welcomed this opportunity to review our policies and processes to ensure they are fit for purpose, proportionate and responsive to the needs of the education system. We recognise the Victorian education system is facing challenges relating to continued teacher workforce shortages and seek to be an enabler for the teaching workforce.
In 2025 two reports were submitted to the Education Minister who has provided in principle support for the recommendations. A copy of the reports can be found below:
• Report 1: Assessment of overseas qualifications (submitted February 2025)
• Report 2: Permission to Teach (submitted April 2025)
Continued consultation
Consultation on these recommendations, including, policy design and implementation is currently underway. More information on how to engage in this consultation can be found here: Reform Recommendations for Sustaining and Growing our Teacher Workforce

Reforming how we manage conduct matters
In 2025 VIT commissioned an independent review of our Professional Conduct Branch to identify opportunities to improve the timeliness, fairness and effectiveness of our regulatory processes. The review, undertaken by Andrew Brown Consulting, provides a clear and comprehensive roadmap for reform.
The recommendations focus on improving the consistency of our processes and strengthening how we manage conduct matters.
