South Australian and Northern Territory Association for Clinical Pastoral Education
The South Australian and Northern Territory Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (SANTACPE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs in South Australia and the Northern Territory. SANTACPE facilitates transformative educational processes for individuals involved in pastoral and spiritual care across various contexts, including hospitals, prisons, schools, defense forces, emergency services, aged care, nursing homes, and faith communities.
Mission and Educational Approach
SANTACPE aims to equip spiritual and pastoral carers with the skills to be present with individuals experiencing distress and to offer spiritually grounded interventions. The organization's approach to CPE is based on an Action-Reflection-Action learning cycle, which fosters self-awareness and best practices in spiritual care delivery. Though rooted in the Christian tradition, the program is inclusive of diverse faiths and spiritualities, with supervisors from Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian backgrounds having been involved in the organization.
Program and Recognition
CPE offered through SANTACPE is internationally recognized as a standard for the professional formation of spiritual carers. Participants in the program engage in experiential education that enhances their pastoral care capacities in clinical and community settings. The organization also collaborates with academic institutions such as St Barnabas College and St Andrew’s Hospital, which run CPE units to train students in 2025.
Impact and Testimonials
The association is known for profoundly impacting participants, transforming their understanding and practice of ministry and spiritual care. Testimonials from past participants describe CPE as a challenging yet rewarding experience that significantly contributes to their personal and professional growth.
Affiliations
SANTACPE operates within the broader Australian and New Zealand network of Clinical Pastoral Education organizations and aligns with standards set by national bodies like the Australia and New Zealand Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ANZACPE). These affiliations ensure that the educational offerings are consistent with rigorous professional and academic standards.
This overview highlights SANTACPE’s role in fostering skilled pastoral care practitioners through specialized education in South Australia and the Northern Territory, contributing to spiritual care across multiple sectors and communities.
