2024 validation of student postal addresses

Principals/Directors, VCE and VCE VM coordinators and VASS administrators

From Monday 7 October, the VCAA will undertake validation of student addresses for the following students:

  • students enrolled in one or more VCE or scored VCE VET Unit 3–4 sequence
  • students enrolled in one or more VCE VM Unit 3-4 sequence
  • students enrolled in International Baccalaureate, in their final year of studies.

This process aims to maximise the successful delivery of hard copy results to student postal addresses.
It is important that correct student address details are entered in full on VASS, including identifying the apartment, flat, unit, house and property number where relevant.

Before the validation process begins, principals should ensure student addresses are valid, current and correct.

Action

Principals/Directors, please make sure that student postal addresses are confirmed and updated on VASS by Monday 7 October.

Critical dates

Monday 7 October – validation process begins.

More information

For more information, please contact the Student Records and Results Unit.

If student addresses do not conform to Australia Post standards, the VCAA will email schools and provide the reason why the address has not been validated. Schools are required to review invalid addresses and amend in VASS. Schools will not receive a notification if all addresses are valid, and no action is required.

When entering student addresses that are longer than the available character length on VASS, the address is to be abbreviated in the most meaningful way possible.
