The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) published the revised Victorian Curriculum F–10 Mathematics Version 2.0 on Friday 28 July 2023.
Schools can start implementing the revised Mathematics curriculum from 2024 and must fully implement it from the start of 2025.
For each reporting period in 2024 schools cannot use both approaches to report.
Synergetic has added the Victorian Curriculum Maths 2.0 to the reference table that underpins the Victorian Curriculum setup and from which curriculum are loaded.

via the Add/Load button:
Once loaded Victorian Curriculum with Maths 2.0 will look like this:
Note that the current Victorian Curriculum Groups will still be present, as shown here in Curriculum Area Group:
The Mathematics 2.0 only needs to be loaded if you intend to use it in 2024. If you do not intend to use Mathematics 2.0 in 2024, you do not need to load it now.
EH (Synergetic) understands that during 2024 all of Victorian Curriculum will be updated to 2.0 so that a complete update of Victorian Curriculum within Synergetic will need to occur during 2024 for 2025.
