Approved providers can now apply for funding of $2,872 (excluding GST) per eligible provisionally registered teacher (PRT) to support them in progressing to full registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT).
Moving to full registration is an important step for early career early childhood teachers and demonstrates their proficiency against the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
Applications for this round close at 5 pm on Friday 20 September 2024.
How to apply
Applications must be submitted through the PRT Grants Program portal by an authorised representative of the approved provider.
Applicants must have discussed the application with the PRT on whose behalf they are applying for funding and must have provided the PRT with the Privacy Statement. This is available in the PRT Grants Program portal 2024-25 PRT Grants Program Guidelines.
The guidelines also outline how applications will be prioritised if the number of eligible applications exceeds the number of grants available.
