Who and where are we?
The Chaplaincy Unit encourages an awareness of the relevance of faith, religion and spirituality in people's lives and in our community. The spiritual dimension of life is real and important.
All Swinburne campuses have access to a Chaplain who is available for the whole campus community to help with any issues of life or meaning. Visiting chaplains can be arranged for specific religious groups such as Catholic, Lutheran, Orthodox, Jewish and Islamic.
Chaplaincy at each campus works somewhat differently. In order to find out what services are available on your campus, click the appropriate link below:
