2022 Validation of student postal addresses

Principals/directors, VASS administrators and VCE, VCAL and VET coordinators

From Monday 10 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 Senior VCAL
  • students enrolled in International Baccalaureate, in their final year of studies

The purpose of this process is to maximise the successful delivery of the hard copy results to student postal addresses.

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

It is important that correct student address details are entered in full on VASS, including the apartment, flat, unit, house and property number where relevant.

When entering student addresses that are longer than the available character length, abbreviate the address in the most meaningful way possible.

Before the validation process starts, principals should make sure that student addresses are current and correct.

Actions required

Principals/directors, please make sure that student postal addresses are confirmed and updated in VASS by Monday 10 October.

Critical dates
