Process for the Appointment of In School Chaplains

The Department has extended two Service Agreements to enable schools to purchase In School Chaplaincy services.  These Service Agreements enable schools to purchase In School Chaplaincy services from onPsych and YouthCARE without having to conduct their own full procurement process.

School Principals should refer to the User Guide for Purchasing In School Chaplaincy Services in Western Australian Public Schools to ensure adherence to all requirements.

Schools will also need to complete a Customer Order Form* (refer to the Guide) and submit it to the Service Provider.  Please allow as much time as possible for processing the appropriate paperwork.

If your school currently receives the services of a Support Chaplain from YouthCARE you do not need to complete a Customer Order Form.
