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 ‘approved professional supervision bodies’ listed below. Membership of these bodies provides the supervisee with some assurance of supervisor training, professionalism and accountability*.
It’s recommend that you start your search via the PACFA and AAOS lists. If you would prefer a supervisor who specialises in pastoral supervision, it’s recommended that you start your search via the supervisor directories**.
The Anglican Church Southern Queensland will continue to seek out additional professional supervision bodies to provide clergy and lay ministers with greater choice and flexibility in selecting a supervisor.
* Membership of these bodies does not guarantee a supervisor’s efficacy. Supervisees are encouraged to investigate for themselves a supervisor’s suitability and fit for them.
** Supervisees are responsible for confirming that their supervisor is a member of one of the ‘approved professional supervision bodies’ listed on this page.
