The Provisionally Registered Teacher (PRT) Grants Program helps approved providers to support provisionally registered early childhood teachers to move to full registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching.
Moving from provisional to full registration is an important step in a teacher’s career and demonstrates their proficiency against the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
Applications are open for round one of the 2025 –26 program.
Approved providers can apply for funding of $3,370.40 (excl. GST) per PRT. This is an increase from $2,872 (excl. GST) in 2024–25. The increased funding means more support for professional learning, coaching and mentoring to help your PRTs achieve full registration.
Applications must be submitted through the PRT Grants Program Portal by an authorised representative of an early childhood service with a funded kindergarten program.
Before submitting the application, authorised representatives must:
- discuss the application with the PRT they are seeking funding for
- provide the PRT with the privacy statement, available in the PRT Grants Program Portal.
Applications close 5 pm Friday 19 September 2025.
