Provisional registration :
Provisional registration is granted to teachers who have yet to demonstrate that they have met the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) at the proficient level. Provisional registration is granted for a period of two years. During this period it is expected that teachers will be eligible to apply for full registration.
If you are a new graduate, you may be eligible for provisional registration. Everything you need to know as a graduate is in the Graduate Registration Program Booklet.

Re-applying for provisional registration:
To remain registered as a teacher in Victoria, teachers in their second year of provisional registration must either complete the process to move to full registration or formally re-apply for provisional registration with the Institute before the expiry date shown on their registration card.
If you are not employed regularly in a school, or for other reasons, you may not yet be in a position to demonstrate that you have achieved the standards for full registration. If this is the case, you may re-apply for provisional registration.
If you intend to re-apply for provisional registration, you are required to complete a re-application for provisional registration using Form R. Form R: Re-application for Provisional Registration is an online form which is available in your MyVIT account.
Getting started:
If you haven’t set up your MyVIT account, click the ‘MyVIT’ tab. Click ‘I am currently registered with the VIT and I want to set up my MyVIT account’. You will receive an email from the Institute. Follow the instructions in the email to set up your account.
When you submit your online re-application, you will be invoiced for an application fee to cover the costs of processing your application and a new National Police History Check if this is required. Your annual registration fee will be payable on 30 September each year.
Permission to teach :
Registration with permission to teach is intended only for individuals who are not qualified teachers but who have been offered short-term employment to undertake the duties of a teacher in delivering and/or assessing student participation in the school’s curriculum program.
When to apply for Permission to Teach (PTT)
An application for PTT is required where:
1 a person is being engaged for the delivery and/or assessment of student participation in an educational program; and
2. the educational program is part of a curriculum that is:
** authorised by the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority (e.g. VELS, VCE, VCAL); or
** authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation, or
** in a non-government school, satisfies the VRQA requirements and is approved as the educational program of the school by the school’s governing body; and
3. the educational program forms part of the required curriculum for a student in that school; and
4. the person is being engaged because of their specific skills and experience in a particular subject or discipline and is required to deliver and/or assess student participation in the required curriculum for a student; and
5. the educational program is to be conducted at a school (as defined under the Education and Training Reform Act 2006).
When it’s not required to apply for PTT:
Extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, supplementary instruction and support programs outside of the required curriculum generally require an instructor who does not undertake the duties of a teacher as defined above.
Integration aides, special needs support officers, chaplains and faith community leaders, guidance officers, career counsellors, sports coaches and instrumental music instructors who do not have the responsibility for delivery and assessment of student participation in an educational program are generally not considered to be undertaking the duties of a teacher and would not be required to hold permission to teach.
These positions may be staffed using direct supervision by registered teachers or in other arrangements under the Working with Children Act 2005.
