Director Chaplaincy Services - Nerida Terrill

Offering the combined expertise of the commercial world and the qualifications of a Chaplain, Nerida Terrill understands the complexity of Chaplaincy within a secular school setting.

Beginning as a Chaplain in 2004, Nerida shows a pastoral concern for the issues faced by chaplains both as individuals and as a wider body. Never losing sight of the individual Chaplains and their immediate needs, Nerida also negotiates and builds the necessary infrastructure to enable the Chaplaincy Program to flourish throughout Victorian schools.

Nerida holds a Bachelor of Ministries, has completed her CPE, Diploma in Secretarial Studies, Caleb Leadership Course and the Chaplaincy in Educational Settings course. Her previous roles in the corporate sector have been Nerida’s training ground for the organisational expertise that she has implemented in her Director's role with ACCESS ministries.

When away from her office, Nerida spends her spare time divided between a good book, coffee with friends and her family.
