Principals will be given stronger powers to ban abusive parents from school grounds after a review uncovered concerns about teacher safety.
The Victorian government will strengthen School Community Safety Orders from 2027, expanding measures designed to tackle harassment, threats and online abuse directed at teachers and school staff.
Education Minister Ben Carroll announced the changes on Friday following an independent review and consultation with schools, parents and carers.
The deputy premier said teachers and school leaders should not have to endure harassment, intimidation or threats while doing their jobs.
''Everyone deserves to feel safe at work and at school – and we have zero tolerance for abuse, including online,'' Mr Carroll said.
The orders, first introduced in 2022, allow principals to ban adults from school grounds and restrict contact with staff when behaviour poses a risk.
