More than 800 grants are available to help provisionally registered teachers (PRTs) move to full registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT).
The Provisionally Registered Teacher Grants Program helps approved providers to support early-career early childhood teachers to gain full registration.
Gaining full registration is an important step in a teacher’s career and demonstrates their proficiency against the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers(opens in a new window).
Who can apply
Approved providers can apply for grants of $2,872 (excluding GST) for each PRT they employ at a government-funded early childhood service in Victoria and intend to support to move to full registration in the next 12 months.
This includes PRTs:
- working in a teaching role in a funded room, or an unfunded room
- working in a teaching role on a casual basis, provided the service can support them to achieve full teacher registration.
Additional grants on offer
In this funding round only, approved providers can also apply for $2,872 (excluding GST) as reimbursements for costs incurred for each early childhood teacher they supported to move to full registration with the VIT between April 2023 and April 2024.
How to apply
To apply, please visit the PRT grants portal.
Applications will close 5 pm Friday 17 May 2024.
Please ensure the person completing the application is authorised to do so and is in a leadership position, such as a service manager, director, nominated supervisor, operations manager or approved provider.
