Report by Chair of the Board

Offering emotional support and spiritual care by helping people connect with their own inner and community resources.Pastoral or spiritual care is offered by the presence of someone who will listen to you and compassionately support you.
 
Pastoral carers have training to ensure a professional approach in the provision of support.
 
Within institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, education, correctional services and the community in general, you may be assisted with pastoral care by a "chaplain", or "spiritual advisor", or "pastoral carer".


The Pastoral Care Council of the ACT is the pivotal body in coordination of Pastoral Care and Chaplaincy Services within institutions.
