Find a supervisor
When looking for a supervisor it is best to find a practitioner who is trained and/or experienced in supervision.
The Anglican Church Southern Queensland currently requires supervisors to be a member of one of the professional bodies listed below.
Membership of these bodies provides the supervisee with some assurance of supervisor training, professionalism and accountability*.
The Anglican Church Southern Queensland will continue to seek out additional accreditation bodies to provide clergy and lay ministers with greater choice and flexibility in selecting a supervisor.
