Education and Training Reform Act 2006

The Victorian Institute of Teaching established under the Victorian Institute of Teaching Act 2001 continues in operation under and subject to this Act.

The Institute—

is a body corporate with perpetual succession;

has an official seal;

may sue and be sued in its corporate name;

may acquire, hold and dispose of real and personal property;

may do and suffer all acts and things that a body corporate may by law do and suffer.

The official seal must be kept as directed by the Institute and must only be used as authorised by the Institute.

All courts must take judicial notice of the imprint of the official seal on a document and, until the contrary is proved, must presume that the document was properly sealed.
