CHIPS’ Chaplaincy service commenced at the start of 2008 in four schools, as part of the Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) National School Chaplaincy Program (NSCP).  CHIPS' Chaplaincy program continued to grow under the NSCP, providing Chaplains in up to 20 primary schools, and in 2023, the Chaplains continued to provide support under the National Student Wellbeing Program (NSWP).

In October 2024, the CHIPS Board made the difficult decision to cease the Chaplaincy program at the end of 2024. CHIPS looks forward to continuing to connect with our previous Chaplains and providing support when needed.
