Pastoral Care Visitors & Assistant Chaplains

Assistant Chaplains:

  • Assistant Chaplains are trained volunteers from local Uniting Church congregations who are connected with a venue such as a hospital or aged care facility.  They usually visit once a week and provide pastoral support to the patients/residents, family members and staff.
  • Assistant Chaplains are usually Elders in their local Uniting Church congregation and are committed to providing quality pastoral care to people in healthcare or aged care.
  • Assistant Chaplains work in conjunction with the staff at their assigned venue.
  • Assistant Chaplains have undergone an orientation and accreditation program and receive ongoing support and training as part of their role.

Pastoral Care Visitors:

Chaplaincy has partnered with Grampians Health - Ballarat Base Hospital (GH-Base) to develop a team of Pastoral Care Visitors (PCV's). 
  • PCV's provide pastoral visiting support to patients on each ward at the Base Hospital
  • PCV's are on the ward weekly
  • PCV's are available to speak with any & all patients - regardless of religious affiliation or faith
  • PCV's work collaboratively with nursing staff and pastoral staff at GH-Base
  • PCV's are trained and supported cooperatively between GH-Base and Chaplaincy
  • PCV's are from a range of Ballarat's local Christian churches
Fill out the form below to register your interest in becoming a PCV.
