Casual Relief Teachers (CRTs)

Overview

Casual relief teachers (CRTs) are casual employees engaged by school councils under Part 2.3 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006.

Information about employment of CRTs can be found in the CRT Employment Handbook under the Resources tab.

Principals and School Councils should also be aware of their obligations as a Public Sector Employer to avoid or manage Conflict of Interest in employment. Further information can be found in the conflict of interest policy on the Victorian Public Sector Commission website.
