We're here to help
Our chaplains are specialist spiritual care practitioners who can help you and your family.
Each of our aged care homes in Queensland and Melbourne has a dedicated Aged Care Chaplain ready to walk alongside you and support you to a healthier place - whether the help you need is emotional or spiritual.
We help all kinds of people, from different religions, personal beliefs and cultures. Our pastoral care services range from non-denominational listening and emotional support, through to providing Christian religious and sacramental care where requested.
Speak with your aged care home to arrange a chaplain.
About pastoral care
We can help older Australians find meaning, purpose and a sense of belonging as they face the challenges of grief, illness and uncertainty. While each of our aged care homes has a dedicated Aged Care Chaplain, our chaplains can also visit people at their home, retirement village or in the community to provide emotional and spiritual support. We can help with a range of issues and requests, including:

Pastoral care is free
We don't charge for pastoral care services. Pastoral care is a core part of the work our chaplains do in our aged care homes and also the community.
