CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION
The Perth Community CPE Centre welcomes applications for CPE from all those interested in developing their pastoral/spiritual care skills. In 2023 we will be offering part-time CPE, in person in Perth and potentially either online or in person in a regional area.
Expressions of interest and applications are now being accepted.
If you wish to enrol in CPE for credit with the University of Divinity, please read here.
CPE could count as 1/3 of a Graduate Diploma of Pastoral Care at University of Divinity.
Please read below for CPE information and upcoming courses. Email piccpe7@gmail.com with any questions and for an application pack.
“Supervision of another who is testing a call to furthering their development as a pastoral person and professional is a privilege. As I accompany another in this journey, I work in such a way that the term “The Living Human Document” can become more real and appreciated.”
“I am passionate about helping people form their unique pastoral identity, informed by their understanding of faith, sources of meaning, purpose and connectedness in life and desire to journey with others through difficult circumstances. I utilise an adult education model grounded in theory, research, self-reflection and experience.”
