Spiritual care
We are a partner in a pilot project, headed by Spiritual Health Victoria, scoping spiritual care practice in six metropolitan hospitals.
Another project undertaken in partnership with Spiritual Health Victoria is a study “Can we make a case for faith communities to continue to receive Government funding for the provision of chaplaincy services in Victorian public hospitals?”
