Feedback SurveyMCF Survey
We have created an MCF Survey and are seeking people's opinions on MCF what we do well, what we don't and how we can improve amongst other things. All are welcome to partake in this as it would be great to get a wide variety of opinions so we can track trends to gain a general picture of where MCF is currently.
The survey can be done anonymously and we appreciate your input.

Centre for Public Christianity Easter 2017 podcast with COL Craig Bickell
"Sacrifice implies that there’s a cost. I think most, if not all, service men and women, and the families they’ve left behind, have experienced the idea of this service costing something - not being able to see their loved ones on a regular basis because they’re deployed, up to the point of sacrificing one’s life." Coming up on Life & Faith, a special Easter interview. Colonel Craig Bickell shares his thoughts on sacrifice and service, morale and resilience, and what Christian faith can offer the profession of arms.

advocacy depression mental health PTSDPTSD - Stomp the Summit, Crush the Stigma
Using Mt Kosciuszko to resemble Mental Health Issues (PTSD, Depression etc) - “the mountain we need to overcome, that stands before us” Currently we have up to 300 ADF members who have taken their own lives since year 2000, who lost their battle with PTSD, depression. This trek is about remembering and honouring those 300 plus who have gone before us. Regardless of fitness, everyone will make it to the top and back, this is about relying on each other to climb the mountain that no one has to suffer alone - we depend on each other because we are a family. Date: Saturday 11 Mar 17
This event is being organised by CPL Summers member of the RAAF and an MCF member.

'Chaplains’ ministries in the Australian Defence Force extend beyond what we imagine we will be doing when we put up our hand to say, “Here I am, Lord, send me!” I hope this magazine will shine a little more light for those undertaking or contemplating the accomplishment of such a wonderful journey.'
A good read with stories that shed light on some of the many things that chaplains in the RAAF do.
