About Victorian Institute of Teaching

The Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) is an independent statutory authority for the teaching profession, whose primary function is to regulate members of the teaching profession. The VIT was established by the Victorian Institute of Teaching Act 2001 in December 2002. VIT’s core purpose is to ensure that Victorian learners have the best teachers. We do this by accrediting initial teacher education (ITE) programs, monitoring the suitability of registered teachers, developing their practice through professional standards and regulating their compliance with the Victorian Teaching Profession's Codes of Conduct and Ethics. It is a legal requirement for all teachers to be registered with VIT in order to be employed in a Victorian school or early childhood education and care service or children’s service. Teacher registration helps maintain professional status, standing and public confidence in the teaching profession, particularly in the suitability of teachers to work with children.
