Keeping the community safe with digital teacher registration
VIT registration is going completely digital – providing employers with another way to instantly verify teacher and early childhood teacher registration in Victoria.
You’re already using the register of teachers and Employer portal to monitor and maintain teacher registration, now you can conveniently access the same real-time proof of registration with digital registration cards.
Real-time proof and peace of mind
Digital cards are always up to date – pulling live data from VIT’s registration system. This means that you can scan the QR code in the digital card to instantly verify your teacher’s registration status. Digital registration also reduces the risk to child safety and helps keep schools and early childhood centres safe.
A teacher’s registration can change at any time (e.g. become expired, placed on interim suspension or cancelled), therefore physical cards are only valid on the day they are printed.
Employers and teachers who rely solely on physical cards to verify teacher registration are at serious risk of contributing to a range of regulatory issues, including child safety concerns and instances of unregistered teaching practice
The register of teachers, Employer portal and digital registration cards are all linked to VIT’s teacher registration system and updated immediately upon a change in registration, and therefore the only safe and accurate methods to prove a teacher’s registration status.
