It is a legal requirement for all Victorian teachers to be registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) in order to be employed in a school or early childhood education and care service or Victorian children’s service. 

As ‘co-regulators’ of the teaching profession, employers are required to ensure their teachers hold valid teacher registration. This is critical in maintaining professional status and public confidence in the profession and providing for the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.

In 2025, VIT is delivering a series of educational webinars to assist employers in understanding the importance of teacher registration and their regulatory obligations as an employer.

Designed for principals, assistant principals, school leaders, early childhood managers and authorised delegates, the webinars explore how to manage and monitor teacher registration, as well as guide staff through the registration process.
