A Web Site about Pastoral Care

This web site is organised by The Pastoral Care Board of the ACT which functions as a peak body representing a cross-section of the pastoral care providers in the ACT.

A committee of the Board is currently developing criteria for accreditation as a Pastoral Carer. These standards will be encouraged for adoption by all organisations and persons (including chaplains) who provide pastoral care.

Standards for Pastoral Carers

Clinical Pastoral Education or equivalent training has provided an Australian wide standard for pastoral carers.

Accreditation of Pastoral Carers

The Board invites pastoral carers to affiliate with the Board and become registered as an "Accredited Pastoral Carer".

A certificate of "accreditation" will be issued subject to identification of appropriate training and recommendations.
