The Royal North Shore Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care Department is founded on the belief that total care encompasses the whole person-physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.
We offer spiritual care services to all patients, their families and to staff.
Chaplains and pastoral carers offer:
- A listening ear, time to discuss religious or spiritual issues
- Prayer and sacraments
- Spiritual and emotional support during times of illness, grief and loss
Chaplains are available for all patients of all faiths and to those of no religious affiliation. On-site chaplains include:
- Anglican
- Presbyterian
- Roman Catholic
- Uniting Church
- Intensive Care Unit chaplain
At your request we can contact a minister, priest, rabbi, Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu pastoral care visitor or a representative of your faith tradition.
A visit from a chaplain can also be arranged through the hospital staff and in an emergency a staff member can page the duty chaplain or priest.
