Timothy Partnership – DEEWR approved training for Chaplains under the NSCSWP

Recently the Federal Government extended the National Schools Chaplaincy Program by a further 3 years. Along with the extension, the government brought in new minimum training standards for Chaplains from 2012 onwards. The Timothy Partnership is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with the Australian Government for two units of Pastoral Care, which will give Chaplains a solid basis for understanding what pastoral care is, and then the equivalent of the two Certificate IV required units, Mental Health and Referrals.

As a collaborative venture of Youthworks and Presbyterian Youth, working through the ACT's affiliated colleges, Anglican Youthworks College and the Presbyterian Theological Centre, these two units specialising in Pastoral Care, will be on offer from 2012.
