Victoria addresses teacher shortage with streamlined credentialing and stricter oversight.
Victoria is tackling a teacher shortage fueled by a 500% surge in overseas applications since 2021, driven by post-pandemic border reopenings and recruitment efforts.
The Victorian Institute of Teaching is streamlining credentialing with a $285 pre-assessment, country-specific guides, and broader recognition of international qualifications, while closing a loophole that allowed underqualified Western Australian teachers into government schools.
Though most applicants are from the UK and rejection rates remain low, some are denied due to unrecognised institutions or inadequate English proficiency.
The VIT is also reviewing the "permission to teach" exemption used in select schools, including religious and bilingual institutions, potentially easing registration rules for religious staff and creating alternative pathways for subject experts.
The reforms aim to ensure all students have access to qualified teachers without compromising standards.
