AISV Compliance Framework

Registration of Teachers

Please scroll to the bottom of the page for contacts and links

Do you need to comply?

Yes, under the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic.).

Conditions of compliance

All primary and secondary teachers, and principals (who have previously been employed as teachers) working in government, Catholic and independent schools, are required by law to be registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching.

If you have to comply, what do you have to do?

School principals can check the registration status of teachers by:

asking to see a current registration card
going to the secure online teacher registration status report facility (VIT login and password is required).

Access to the site is restricted to school principals or their authorised delegates for the sole purpose of ensuring their school employs registered teachers (password access is required - contact VIT if you require a new password.).

What are the consequences if you don't comply?

You will be in breach of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic.) if you employ a person who is not registered or does not have the appropriate level of permission to teach with the Victorian Institute of Teaching. Penalties may apply.
