National Model for Spiritual Care in Health

This document presents a contemporary and inclusive model for spiritual care in Australian health services, with a focus on hospitals. The model was developed through a co-design process that involved key stakeholders in the healthcare industry, academic scholars and consumers, as well as experts in allied health, spiritual health and wellbeing.

Our aim was to respond to the growing diversity of worldviews in Australia and the increasing evidence that shows the connection between spirituality and health. Under this model, spiritual care will be delivered by a professional spiritual care workforce that is employed by health services and fully integrated into the organisational structure. These professionals will work alongside community-appointed spiritual care providers, who will be able to respond to specific needs that arise. To ensure that spiritual care is fully integrated into the healthcare system, the model places an emphasis on collaboration between spiritual care providers and other healthcare professionals.
