VATE membership renewal for 2026 is now open.

We'd like to thank the strong and vibrant VATE community that continued to support our English teaching colleagues across the state in 2025. You can now renew your VATE Membership for 2026 through the 'My account' area of your account or if you aren't a current VATE member, you can join here!

VATE is an independent, not for profit organisation that aims to foster the highest quality teaching of English throughout Victoria. Since 1960 VATE has supported its members as they have navigated the various changes to the teaching and learning of English over the last sixty years.
