Chaplaincy

The Council of Churches of Western Australia provide Chaplaincy not only in Prisons, but also in Health Services, Aged Care and general Industry

The Chaplaincy Arm:

  • assists in the appointment of ecumenical chaplains;
  • directly employs some ecumenical chaplains;
  • has contractual responsibility for the continuing education and the quality of service in WA prisons;
  • negotiates duty statements, terms of appointment and appropriate funding arrangements on behalf of churches;
  • seeks to advance the quality and scope of ecumenical Chaplaincy in WA.

The Chaplaincy Arm is served by an Operations Manager, and Chaplaincy Field Officer. It is assisted by the Council of Churches Chaplaincy Committee, who advise the Executive on matters of policy.

To discuss Chaplaincy matters, please contact the CCWA office.
