Anglican Chaplaincy Tasmania


Anglican Chaplaincy Tasmania

ACT was established by Synod in 1999 as the organisation responsible for the provision and management of Chaplaincy throughout the diocese.

The Ordinance provides for a Board of Management which meets regularly.

ACT provides chaplaincy services to Risdon Prison, the Royal Hobart Hospital, Hobart Private, the Palliative Care Unit, the Launceston General Hospital and the Burnie Campus of the North West Regional.

The Manor Gardens, St Luke's and St Vincent's in Launceston, Eastside Care and ADARDS in Hobart are also under its auspices.

The chaplains provide for 24 hours cover of the hospital or home to which they are appointed. All the chaplains have completed at least one unit of Clinical Pastoral Education and engage in ongoing training.
