From the celebration of new life to the sorrow of saying goodbye, and everything in between, the chaplain offers support for your emotional, spiritual, and personal wellbeing.

Resources for Every Season of Life

For Young People & Kids

We’ve created thoughtful resources for people of all ages — including children, teenagers, and young adults navigating hospital stays or supporting loved ones.

You’ll find videos, reflections, and helpful tools designed to bring comfort, hope, and understanding — whether you're feeling overwhelmed, curious about God, or just need someone to explain what’s going on.

Supporting the Whole Person

For Hospital Staff & Aged Care Workers

We understand how emotionally demanding your role can be. The chaplaincy service is here not just for patients, but for staff too, to support the wellbeing of those who spend their days caring for others.

We’re available to debrief difficult moments, offer a listening ear, or pray with you if you’d like.

A Hope That Holds

Hope in Christ

In life’s most significant moments — joyful or painful — the hope we have in Jesus Christ brings peace, comfort, and assurance. He knows our suffering, offers forgiveness, and promises life that goes beyond the grave.

Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or holding onto long-standing beliefs, you're welcome here.
