school chaplaincy program struck down in High Court, page-22

If you are interested, the following article addresses a lot of the common questions people ask like what chaplains do, what training they have, what can they and can't they do etc.

My personal experience is that chaplains do a huge amount of good in a school in their caring role. Much more than a counselor, less stigma than a psychologist, and way more flexible than any mental health worker in what they can do to adapt to a schools needs. And in most cases, the "faith" community raises most of their salary, topping up the $20,000 per school the govt chips in.
