The Council for Christian Education in Schools T/A Korus Connect

Korus Connect supports the wellbeing of communities. We help build, nurture and sustain communities to be connected, supported and whole.

Our key initiatives include the delivery of chaplaincy services in Victorian schools and community hubs, the delivery of religious instruction to students whose parents have consented, as well as the provision of community connectors, and training in related areas. Community connectors provide pastoral and practical care to individuals and serve as a bridge between key organisations and the community.

Our connectors are based in shopping centres, Melbourne Airport and any other ‘community hub’ which seeks to improve social connections, community engagement and belonging. In addition, Korus Connect delivers a raft of training courses in the pastoral care space, including the government’s mandated chaplaincy training units. Korus Connect is committed to data collection, evaluation and social impact reporting to demonstrate to our funders and partners that our initiatives are having a positive impact on the wellbeing of those who participate. Further, our community connector initiatives are strengthening community alliances, reducing loneliness and improving community connection. Our staff and volunteers are based in metropolitan and regional Victoria, serving local communities, and our head office is in Blackburn North.
