Our chaplains can help you if you are going through a personal crisis, feeling homesick or lonely, need special consideration, have a prayer request, or are curious about spiritual questions.

Chaplain support

We offer individual or group spiritual counselling, support, prayer and meditation groups, religious education and workshops on a variety of topics, in order to support the faith development of the campus community.

Chaplains can offer support by:

  • being available at critical moments to facilitate your personal and spiritual growth
  • providing personal and/or spiritual support regardless of faith tradition
  • connecting you with appropriate groups for support.

In this climate of diversity and challenging global issues chaplains may also:

  • facilitate discussion groups on a wide variety of theological, ethical and justice-related concerns
  • provide advice and assistance to the campus community at times of celebration, mourning and transition
  • encourage and nurture the development of a sense of shared community
  • create an environment of multi-faith respect and cooperation.
  • Please check with individual chaplains (see Faiths Represented page) or chaplaincy on uts.chaplaincy@uts.edu.au
