03 NovRegistering your Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs)
Schools and early childhood centres across Victoria are currently making staffing arrangements for 2023 and looking to employ graduate teachers. Please pass on the following information to your Pre-service teachers (PSTs) about their registration requirements as the responsibility for gaining and maintaining teacher registration lies with the PST.
Legislation requires that all people undertaking the duties of a teacher or early childhood teacher in a Victorian school or early childhood service must be registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT). This ensures only qualified and suitable people are teaching Victorian children and young people.
Before teaching in any Victorian school or being employed by any early childhood service, those who have recently graduated or are about to graduate from a Victorian initial teacher education (ITE) or early childhood (EC) program will be required to apply for provisional registration.
Unlike others who apply for provisional registration, there are some key differences to the timeline and requirements for graduates.
