The VIT’s key function is to provide for the safety and wellbeing of children by ensuring only qualified and suitable persons are teaching Victorian learners.

You will be required to provide evidence that proves your identity as well as give consent so VIT can undertake a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) on your behalf. We may carry out other criminal record checks from time to time.   

Declaring physical and / or mental health conditions 

You need to declare any condition(s) that may seriously detrimentally affect your ability to undertake the duties of a teacher. 

Overseas criminal record check (CRC) 

If you were over the age of 18 and lived continuously in any country other than Australia for 12 months within the last 10 years, you will need to provide a certified copy of a police certificate issued by the national police service in the country you lived in. Please refer to the Australian Department of Home Affairs for accepted overseas CRCs and the authorities who issue them.
