This is 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.

Pastoral 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".
