The power of being present in every season.

Thriving people create thriving, healthy communities.

Our trained chaplains know how to listen and respond in every circumstance.

Thriving clubs create safe spaces for people to grow, learn, and build relationships.

We are invested in supporting clubs to create positive, healthy, value-based culture.

Thriving communities create places where each person feels supported, valued, and encouraged in all that they do – on and off the field.
Support when you need it most.

There will be times when your community is rocked. Having a chaplain means you have the support and tools to deal with all that life throws at you.

Training and equipping sport chaplains for 40 years.

SCA is on a mission to train and equip sports chaplains to be present in every season.

Sports Chaplaincy Australia is a national network of volunteer chaplains who serve local and elite sporting communities and communities around Australia. Our accredited chaplains are trained to provide appropriate care to individuals, the organisation, and the community in all seasons of life.

We work with several partners in specialised contexts and locations – including Motorsport Ministries, Life Saving Chaplaincy Australia, Australian Racing Christian Chaplaincy, and SportsCARE (WA).

SCA is invested in assisting sports communities in building healthy communities that support the whole person – on and off the field.
