What happens to interstate leave entitlements

If you’re a teacher in a government school elsewhere in Australia, your benefits and leave entitlements are transferable to Victorian government school teaching roles.

This means that all your leave balances will remain intact when you move.

The Victorian Curriculum F-10

The Victorian Curriculum F-10 incorporates most of the Australian Curriculum F-10. It reflects Victorian priorities and standards. The most notable difference between the two is in the structural design.

Victorian government and Catholic schools need to use the Victorian Curriculum F-10. Independent schools can use the Victorian Curriculum as a model for implementing the Australian one.
