A Chaplain’s
service knows no bounds. More so when it comes to the Army. Not only will you
be providing spiritual guidance to all members of the Army (regardless of
faith or denomination), you’ll also be performing administration and staff
duties as part of the personnel support team. It is a role that will see you
serving your faith and country at the same time.
Joining the Army Reserve
does not mean forsaking your affiliations to your church. Chaplains remain
active members of their religious organisation while serving as commissioned
members of the ADF. After all, you will need your church’s endorsement in
order to practice as a Chaplain.
The
duties listed below are those that you could be expected to perform, but note
that not all duties are performed in each position:
• provide religious and pastoral
support to commanders at all levels
in accordance with established
policy and guidance
• collectively provide a religious
ministry and character development program to all elements of the Army
• provide religious ministry to
denominational members
• conduct worship services and
religious rites
• provide pastoral care to soldiers,
their families and Defence Department civilian employees who seek guidance
• train Chaplains for Defence
Force operations, exercises and activities
