No. It is an offence under the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 for anyone to undertake teaching duties in a Victorian school if they do not hold current registration or a permission to teach (PTT) grant (including education support staff under the supervision of a registered teacher).

The duties of a teacher, as defined in the Education and Training Reform Act 2006, are described as the 'delivery of an educational program or the assessment of student participation in an education program'.

An education program is defined as 'a school-based planned program of learning and assessment that delivers an approved curriculum and reports formally to parents about student progress. Schools have flexibility in the design of their education program to ensure sequencing of knowledge and skills across the years of schooling to support a progression of learning such that students of all achievement levels are able to progress'.
