Prison Chaplains

Chaplain, Major Andrew Schofield

Our prison chaplains are available at correctional centres throughout Australia. Salvation Army chaplains are part of a multi-faith chaplaincy team. Where a Salvation Army Chaplain is not operating in a particular prison, a referral will be passed on to another member of the Chaplaincy Team.
 
Chaplains provide a range of support to people in prison such as: 

  • One-on-one support – emotional, spiritual and pastoral  
  • Regular visits 
  • Chapel services 
  • Bible studies (not available in every prison)
  • Referrals to other agencies in preparation for release

Request a Salvation Army Prison Chaplain to visit an inmate:

This form below can be used to request that a Salvation Army Prison Chaplain visit a family member/friend whom is imprisoned. 

Chaplains are unable to provide accommodation support, welfare support, conduct assessments to alcohol or drug services, pass information on to an inmate, or provide direct support back to the individual filling out this form. The contracts that The Salvation Army has with Corrective Services do not allow for anything more than direct pastoral care (Chaplaincy) support to an inmate.

If you would like a Salvation Army Prison Chaplain to visit your family member/friend then please fill in all required information within the form, otherwise we may not be able to make contact. For prison chaplaincy support in Western Australia, please contact the relevant prison and ask for their chaplaincy services.

If you require personal assistance for yourself, please make contact with The Salvation Army Phone Assistant Line in your state/territory.

Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for a response.
