Chill & Connect with our Chaplains.
One of the key services offered at Oasis is chaplaincy. There are two practising chaplains that students can contact to discuss matters relating to spirituality, meaning, purpose and life in general.
Contact with Chaplains can be made by finding them at the Oasis Centre or by sending them an email. Learn more about the chaplains and find out how to contact them below.
People often think that ‘chaplaincy’ means they can only speak with chaplains about religious issues. But chaplaincy is much more than that. This great article from Maria (a previous Oasis chaplain) helps explain the focus of chaplaincy work – https://oasis.flinders.edu.au/oasis-chaplaincy-there-for-everyone-and-you/
This video from the chaplaincy team further discusses the service they offer:
