Application
This unit describes the skills required to provide pastoral care and counsel to members of an organisation as Defence Chaplains. Chaplains are required to be religious leaders immersed in the practices of their accredited faith group and to operate within a spiritual framework. This includes providing pastoral and counselling ministry to personnel, their families and other authorised personnel. This unit was developed for Defence Chaplains but may be relevant to others who work in this field. The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to. Those undertaking this unit would work independently and perform complex tasks in a mainly predictable context. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. |
