All applicants and registered teachers must adhere to VIT’s rigorous screening process, including overseas criminal record checks and continual suitability assessments (such as weekly State police checks, annual self-declarations and nationally coordinated criminal history checks).

The VIT cannot accept applications for teacher registration for individuals who do not reside in Australia for the period they are seeking registration for.

If you’re currently based overseas, VIT is unable to monitor your continual suitability, and therefore cannot accept your application for teacher registration. In limited circumstances applicants may be able to apply from a country outside Australia no more than 3 months prior to arrival.
