The 2025-26 Early Childhood Provisionally Registered Teacher (PRT) Grants Program helps approved providers support PRTs to move to full registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT).

Funding available

Approximately 700 grants are available for approved providers in Victoria. 

Eligible providers can apply for grants of up to $3,370.40 (excl. GST) per PRT they employ at a state-funded early childhood service. These grants are intended to support PRTs in obtaining full registration within the next 12 months.

How to apply

Applications must be submitted through the PRT Grants Program Portal by an authorised representative of an early childhood service with a funded kindergarten program.

Authorised representatives must discuss the application with the PRT on whose behalf they are applying for the funding and must provide the PRT with the privacy statement. This is available in the PRT Grants Program Portal.

Approved providers interested in applying for funding are strongly encouraged to review the PRT Grants Program guidelines and terms and conditions in the PRT Grants Program Portal and on the program webpage.
