Chaplain Support

Our chaplains are experienced and qualified professionals who are authorised by their faith tradition and endorsed by our University to support your wellbeing. They assist all members of the community, irrespective of personal belief, philosophy, life view or faith. Chaplains welcome the opportunity for discussion of the broader questions of life, spirituality, or faith, as well as being available for pastoral care.
