Our vision is to ensure that Victorian learners have the best teachers. VIT’s core purpose is to ensure that Victorian learners have the best teachers.

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. 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. Our community guidelines can be found at https://www.vit.vic.edu.au/community-guidelines

On Remembrance Day, we honour the courage, service and sacrifice of the men and women who have served Australia.

Today at VIT, we join communities across Australia in remembering their legacy and the freedoms we enjoy because of their service.

Lest we forget.

🍎 World Teachers' Day 2026: Shine a light on teachers

Today, we celebrate the teachers who inspire, support and empower children and young people every day. Through their dedication, care and expertise, teachers help learners thrive and make a lasting difference in communities across Victoria.

As part of this year's celebrations, VIT Chairperson, Dale Pearce pays tribute to Victorian teachers:

"On World Teachers’ Day, I extend my sincere thanks to teachers across Victoria for the important work you do every day to support, inspire and empower your students.

Teaching is a profession that makes a profound difference — not only through the knowledge and skills you share, but through the relationships you build, the confidence you nurture and the opportunities you create for young people to thrive.

I recognise the dedication, care and professionalism you bring to your classrooms, often in the face of significant challenges and competing demands. Your work matters enormously, and its impact reaches far beyond the classroom, shaping individuals, strengthening communities and contributing to Victoria’s future.

On behalf of the Victorian Institute of Teaching, thank you for your commitment to your students, your profession and the value of education.

Today, we celebrate you and the difference you make."
