Clearer pass records for Victorian schools

Victorian frameworks to review

Victorian requirements differ by school sector and circumstances. These frameworks are a starting point for review, not a complete statement of your school's obligations.

Education and Training Reform Act 2006

This Act forms part of Victoria's education regulatory framework. Schools should review the current legislation and the policies or registration requirements that apply to their sector.

Ministerial Order 1359 (Child Safe Standards)

This Order sets out actions Victorian schools and school boarding premises must take to implement the Child Safe Standards. It does not prescribe Vero or an out-of-class pass system.

VRQA Minimum Standards

The VRQA publishes minimum standards and other registration guidance for schools. Check the current requirements and the evidence relevant to your school and review scope.

Every teacher-created pass, documented

Vero records the staff member, student, selected destination and associated times for each pass. Authorised staff can search and export that chronology for an approved review.

  • Departure time and return time with timestamps
  • Elapsed time and school-set overdue alerts
  • Exportable records for an approved school review

Support your emergency information process

During a lockdown or evacuation, authorised staff can view students with active passes, their recorded destinations and departure times. That list can complement, but does not replace, the school's emergency procedures and roll-call process.

  • Live dashboard showing students with active passes
  • Recorded destinations and departure times in one view
  • An additional input to the school's emergency information process

How Vero can support Victorian school processes

Three practical uses for pass records within a school's wider supervision, child-safety and review approach.

Searchable records for school review

Vero provides a consistent pass-record workflow and exportable chronology. A school can use that record alongside its policies, training and other evidence when responding to an authorised review.

Context for wider child-safety processes

Vero can provide active-pass visibility and a consistent chronology for appropriate school review. It does not determine whether a child-safety process is adequate or establish compliance with Ministerial Order 1359.

Context for pastoral follow-up

Repeated pass patterns can prompt an appropriate conversation with the student and relevant staff. The pattern is context, not a diagnosis, risk score or finding of misconduct.

Common questions about duty of care in Victoria

What does the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 say about duty of care?
The Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) forms part of the regulatory framework for Victorian education. The obligations applying to a particular school depend on its sector and circumstances. Schools should review current official guidance and seek advice about their own situation.
What are the VRQA minimum standards for student supervision?
The VRQA publishes minimum standards and registration guidance for Victorian schools. Schools should check the current official material for the applicable standard and evidence requirements; this page does not provide a complete statement of those requirements.
How does Vero help Victorian schools meet Child Safe Standards under Ministerial Order 1359?
Ministerial Order 1359 sets out actions schools and school boarding premises must take to implement the Child Safe Standards. Vero can provide active-pass visibility and a pass chronology as context within a wider school process, but it does not prove compliance or monitor students' physical whereabouts.
Does Vero support Victorian government and non-government schools?
Victorian government, Catholic and independent schools can evaluate Vero against their own procurement, privacy, records and technical requirements. Vero Connected uses Wonde for supported SIS connections; confirm the school's exact system and local approval pathway before purchase.
How does Vero help with OHS obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004?
A Vero pass record may be one input to a school's risk, incident or emergency process. It shows active passes and recorded destinations rather than verified physical locations, and it does not determine whether a school complies with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic).
What evidence does Vero provide for VRQA compliance reviews?
Vero can export a chronology showing the teacher who created each pass, the selected destination and the associated times. Its relevance and sufficiency depend on the current VRQA requirements, the review scope and the school's wider evidence; the record does not prove compliance by itself.
