Spiritual Care Australia (SCA) has been working on a Standards of Practice document to give greater clarity to practitioners, managers and institutions regarding the professional work of those involved in Spiritual Care. The Document outlines a minimum set of Standards that govern the way practitioners go about their work to ensure the safety of clients and coworkers and what is considered best practice in the field of pastoral and spiritual care. At the 2014 SCA National Conference the standards were Launched and the document will be roles out to stakeholders in the coming weeks/months. A PDF version of the Standards are available from the link below. Download or to request a hard copy of the Standards of Practice booklet please Contact us. |

Spiritual Care Australia partnered with Spiritual Health Victoria in June 2017 to conduct a consensus conference on the ways in which spiritual care enhances quality and safety, with a particular emphasis on health care. The conference was attended by 68 participants from every state and territory. The need to care for patients’ psychosocial, cultural and spiritual needs is acknowledged nationally by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care. Yet there is no consistent approach to the provision of spiritual care across the Australian health system. At the conference, five principles for the design and delivery of spiritual care services were agreed as well as ten policy statements. The Report will be useful to all working in health care, as well as other sectors, and is available for Download here. |
