Moving from provisional to full registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) is an important step in a teacher’s career and demonstrates their proficiency against the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
The Provisionally Registered Teacher (PRT) Grants Program helps approved providers support provisionally registered early childhood teachers delivering a funded kindergarten program through this process.
Increased funding now available for new PRT applications
The grant amount for new PRT applications Round 2 2025-26 has increased from $2,872 (excl. GST) to $3,370.40 (excl. GST). This means more support is now available for professional learning, coaching and mentoring to help your PRTs move to full registration.
Applications close at 5 pm on Friday 27 March 2026.
Applications can be submitted via the PRT Grants Program Portal by an authorised representative of a service with a funded kindergarten program.
Authorised representatives must:
- discuss the application with the PRT you are seeking funding for
- provide the PRT with the privacy statement, available in the PRT Grants Program Portal.
