Applications can take up to six weeks for VIT to assess. The VIT completes a rigorous assessment of an applicant’s qualification for registration, including suitability to teach. The VIT is required to undertake a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) on your behalf. This can take time to be returned to VIT, at which time, your application will be assessed for your suitability to teach. Assessment of suitability to teach includes consideration of criminal history, professional history, impairments, reportable conduct, and Working with Children (WWC) exclusions and interim exclusions (previously known as negative and interim negative notice) from Working with Children Check Victoria (WWCCV). 

If you haven't done so already, please confirm your eligibility and register your interest in participating in the Tutor Learning initiative with the Department of Education (DE). 

Individual schools will be responsible for recruiting their tutors, based on student learning requirements.  If you are a preferred candidate, you will need to contact VIT regarding your options for registration. 

You may wish to wait for advice from a school on whether you are a preferred candidate before submitting your application for registration.
