Victorian Certificate of Education – Curriculum
2018 School-based Assessment Audit – Unit 3 outcomes
The purpose of the School-based Assessment Audit is to ensure that school-based assessment is conducted in line with VCAA principles of assessment and the requirements of the relevant VCE study design.
All VCE providers are audited for at least one VCE study each year and all VCE studies are subject to the annual School-based Assessment Audit. The audit program incorporates a review of School-assessed Coursework (SAC) and School-assessed Tasks (SATs).
The School-based Assessment Audit has two stages for both Unit 3 and Unit 4. The first stage consists of a study-specific audit questionnaire, which is completed online by teachers on behalf of the VCE provider and reviewed by an Audit Panel appointed by the VCAA.
The outcomes of the first stage of the audit were released on VASS on Monday 7 May. VCE providers/schools can download an audit report by searching for 'audit' in VASS downloads. A summary of outcomes can be viewed on the following screen in VASS: School Program – VCE – School-based Assessment Audit.
The second stage of the audit seeks further evidence (if requested) from VCE providers, depending on the outcome from stage one. VCE providers who are required to submit further evidence must do so by Monday 21 May.
Further information on the School-based Assessment Audit can be found on the
VCE General Advice and Policy webpage, or by contacting Julia Tewkesbury on (03) 9032 1735 or via email at:
