Conduct and suitability
For education providers
The VIT is required to assess that applicants are qualified and suitable to teach. The registration assessment process is a critical regulatory function.
If documents cannot be certified and/or translated, we will request that the applicant / registrant email vit@vit.vic.edu.au with the documents and evidence that they have attempted to meet evidentiary requirements.
The VIT recognises the impact of COVID 19 on the teaching profession, in particular casual relief teachers (CRTs) and early childhood teachers.
Teachers delivering their lessons in a remote context will be able to count those days to meet the recency of practice requirement.
If teachers are unable to demonstrate at least 20 days of teaching / educational leadership / equivalent practice in the past 12 months, they will be provided with the option to declare that they have undertaken
Where possible, teachers should keep a record of the days they complete.
For those who are still unable to meet the requirements during 2022 due to COVID 19, this will not be an impediment to nor preclude them from the 2022-23 registration renewal.
Any professional learning undertaken from 1 October 2021 until 30 September 2022 counts towards your 20 hours of professional learning.
The VIT acknowledges that many face-to-face professional learning activities are not taking place due to COVID 19. While this may have disrupted professional learning plans, it is expected that teachers will be able to undertake collaborative online learning, professional reading and other online professional learning activities as well as workplace provided opportunities.

For teachers who are still unable to meet the requirements due to COVID 19 during 2022, this will not be an impediment. As part of their 2022-23 annual registration tasks, teachers will be given the option to declare that they have been impacted by COVID 19. The VIT will extend their registration for 12 months.

VIT understands that many provisionally registered teachers (PRTs) may still be in a position to be able to complete all of the regulatory requirements of the process. We encourage PRTs who are able to complete applications for (full) registration within their originally planned timeframe to do so, and we will continue to process applications.
If you intend to complete the (full) registration process in a remote teaching context, you must consult with your workplace and mentor to agree that all regulatory requirements can be met via this process. Read information about how to undertake your inquiry during COVID 19 restrictions here.
