If you're coming to Ballarat for healthcare ... or know someone in aged care ... then you can connect with Chaplaincy.
BRHC has 2 main branches to its ministry:

• Pastoral Care: Assistant Chaplains
• Church Teams: In-person Aged Care & Online Chapel

Pastoral Care: Assistant Chaplains

• Assistant Chaplains provide regular pastoral care to a venue (hospital or aged care).
• They are volunteers from local Uniting Church congregations who receive extra training, support and supervision.
• They work alongside the venue staff to pastorally care for and support patients, residents and their families.

 Church Teams: In-person Aged Care

• Worship Teams are groups of Uniting Church members who provide a church service to an Aged Care venue.
• Services typically are 30-mins in length once a month.
• Church services are designed appropriate to the venue.
• Aged Care Venues must provide for the Spiritual Welfare of their residents - our church services assist with that.
