Chaplaincy program goes ahead SBS News: The federal government is giving money to the states to ensure the school chaplaincy program continues. A High Court decision in June ruled that the commonwealth had no executive power to fund the national program, limiting its ability to administer and directly fund it. The government is now inviting the states and territories to opt-in to a new arrangement whereby they receive $243 million in federal funding, but run the program themselves. The government said school chaplains made a valuable contribution to the wellbeing of students and school communities. The Australian Greens urged the states not to sign up to the program. sbs.au/news/article/2014/08/27/chaplaincy-program-goes-ahead
