PCH’s Multi-faith Centre on Level 5 provides a calm and welcoming space for a time-out, prayer, meditation, quiet reflection and pastoral support for people of all faiths, spiritual backgrounds and those of no religion who are visiting or staying with us.

You do not need to identify as religious to receive support from the hospital’s Pastoral Care team. Spiritual care services are tailored to meet the spiritual need of each individual or group and may include:

  • Companionship
  • Listening
  • Spiritual support
  • Prayer and blessing
  • Assistance with sacraments if desired.

Support

The Pastoral Care team are available to provide pastoral and spiritual care for patients, staff, families and care givers from all religious and non-religious backgrounds.
 
They can address spiritual and religious questions and concerns that may arise during hospitalisation.
 
The Pastoral Care team are located in the Multi-faith Centre office on Level 5. They may be reached on 6456 0507 or by asking a staff member to contact our team.

The Centre

A Salat Room (prayer room) provides opportunity to meet the daily worship needs of people of the Islamic tradition. Washing/Wadu facilities are available with separate male and female prayer areas.

The adjoining courtyard is a serene area available to all visitors as a place for relaxation, contemplation and reflection.

Within the Multi-faith Centre is a book in which patients, staff and families can write prayers or messages. These prayers and reflections are remembered and honoured by the Pastoral Care team.

Hours

The centre is open at all times.

PCH visitors and patients are invited to use it as a place of quiet, reflection, prayer or simply to escape the intensity of the ward or public areas of the hospital. 

Access

Entry to the Multi-faith Centre is via a swipe card. This is available from the ward clerks or clinic receptions. 

Location

The Multi-faith Centre is located on Level 5, via the Green Lifts.
