Training your people as chaplains is one of the most effective ways to multiply your church’s community impact.

Chaplaincy Australia has been partnering with churches, denominational networks, and ministry leaders for decades. We understand what you’re carrying and we know how to support your ministry to do meaningful work in the community.

Here’s how we can help your church do more of what it’s already called to do.

Chaplaincy Accreditation

Having nationally accredited chaplains on your team opens doors into your community that informal ministry simply can’t. Including schools, hospitals, aged care facilities, workplaces, and crisis settings, with chaplaincy, your church can have a real and sustained presence.

It’s one of the most practical ways to bring the community into relationship with your church, and we can walk your people through exactly what it takes to get there.

Training & Professional Development

The situations your pastoral team are walking people through today — grief, mental health crises, family breakdown, trauma — are complex. And the expectation on church leaders to respond well has never been higher.

Our professional development training is built and delivered by working chaplains. Our team understands both the demands of ministry and the weight of representing your church well.

We keep your people current, capable, and connected to best practice in the field.

Supervision & Mentoring

Everyone who carries the weight of other people’s lives needs somewhere safe to put it down.

Professional supervision is what sustainable ministry looks like — it’s not a sign of struggle, but a mark of wisdom. We provide confidential supervision and mentoring for pastors and their teams. It’s a structured space to debrief, reflect, and stay healthy for the long haul.

Your people give a lot. This is how we help make sure there’s more to give.

Training Your People

Train Your People. Expand Your Impact. Zero Disruption.

Some of the most effective chaplains you’ll ever deploy are already in your congregation.

We can equip individuals or run a full cohort training program for your church — locally, affordably, and built around your existing rhythms rather than competing with them. Your people train together, in your context, without travel or disruption.

Training your people as chaplains is one of the most cost-effective ways to multiply your church’s community reach, and bring the community into the doors of your church

Training options:

  • Certificate IV in Chaplaincy & Pastoral Care — the nationally recognised qualification for school, hospital, aged care, community, and crisis chaplaincy roles.
  • +Chaplaincy — an accessible introductory program covering grief and loss, suicide awareness, mental health support, and practical pastoral response. A powerful starting point for anyone in your congregation drawn to caring ministry.
  • In-house cohort delivery — we come to you. From small regional churches to large denominational networks, we’ll work with your budget, your calendar, and your people.

External Chaplaincy Support

When a Situation Needs More Than Your Team Can Hold.

Some pastoral situations are complex or sensitive enough that an external perspective is the right call.

When you need experienced, accredited chaplaincy support alongside your existing pastoral response, we’re here. We’d rather you reach out early than carry something alone that didn’t need to be carried that way.

Get in touch and we’ll talk through what you’re dealing with and how we can help.

    Upgrade Your Credentials

    Your Experience Is Already There. Let Your Credentials Catch Up.

    If you’re an ordained pastor or minister, you’ve likely been doing chaplaincy work for years — sitting with people in crisis, walking alongside grief, showing up when no one else does. The Certificate IV in Chaplaincy & Pastoral Care is your direct route to formalising that experience at the next credential level: from PMC to OMC.

    It’s designed for leaders who are already stretched with flexible delivery that works around your ministry calendar. Priced with ministry budgets in mind and trained by chaplains who understand both pastoral leadership and the rigour of chaplaincy accreditation.

    Fast-track your credentials. Not your workload.
