Additional Information: Our Pastoral Care Practitioners come from a variety of belief groups and religious backgrounds and are a combination of staff and trained volunteers available to offer emotional and spiritual support to patients, families, carers and staff throughout the Canberra Hospital. They are available in person, either on-site or on-call through the hospital's switchboard.

Chaplaincy and Pastoral/Spiritual Care includes members of a general team who relate with persons who claim to have no specific religious background or affiliation but who appreciate visits or are seeking spiritual support.

A Multifaith sacred space located in Building 3, Level 2 is open to all and available 24 hours a day. It is specifically designed for private prayer and individual/group meditation. It is also used as a Christian Chapel, Jewish Temple, and for daily prayers by Muslims, thus various religious services and group meditations are regularly held there Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays - as well as periodic memorial services and special celebrations conducted by belief or faith group leaders coordinated by the Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care Manager. A schedule of all regular weekly worship services/times are available on notice boards near the Multifaith centre or by contacting the Pastoral Care office directly.

Bedside communion is available upon request. Anyone may request a friendly pastoral care visit or specific spiritual support at anytime, either personally or to make a referral on behalf of someone else.

Chaplains and Pastoral Carers are available on campus during work hours and designated representatives are on-call 24 hours a day. Contact the Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care office directly on (02) 6244 3849 or via the hospital's switchboard on (02) 6244 2222 to reach the on-call service.
