Region Chaplaincy Services - Air Force
Canberra Region Chaplaincy Services
- Air Force, a branch of the Director General Chaplaincy
- Air Force, tasked to provide chaplaincy services
to all RAAF members and their families working and
residing in the Canberra Region.
Chaplains are acutely aware of the
pressures on RAAF members and their families, in particular
the stress of dislocation and the loss of the extended
family as a support network. The chaplains are here
to offer you pastoral and emotional support.
Irrespective of your location, Russell
Offices, Campbell Park, Tuggeranong, Fyshwick, Northbourne
House, NCC, Anzac Park Defence or some other establishment
in the Canberra region, these Chaplains are keen to
meet with you individually or as a section in the
workplace over a brew for a chat. If you need pastoral
care, religious ministry, or an ear to bend, please
do not hesitate to take the initiative and contact
one of the chaplains. Contact details can be found
on the ADFPC-C Defweb site.
