Our chaplains are currently very heavily involved in response to Evacuation Centres and Disaster Welfare Assistance Points operating in the mid north coast and north of NSW. Over the deployment we have had 47 DRCN chaplains on roster in 32 locations providing over 1300 hours of face to face chaplaincy.
A new body has been formed to bring together the leaders of state and territory-based volunteer disaster recovery and emergency chaplaincy networks from across Australia. The Australian Volunteer Emergency Chaplaincy Alliance (AVECA) was formed through the interaction of the leaders over a period of years.
What is the DRCN?
The Disaster Recovery Chaplaincy Network (DRCN) is an ecumenical network of chaplains established to assist people in NSW who have been affected by disasters and major emergencies within their communities.
