The inclusion of a member’s name on the ANSD website as a spiritual director and/or supervisor is a service ANSD offers its members.
The application process has been developed with specialist legal advice with the view to minimising harm.
The application process
The application is online (i.e. the questions form part of your online profile and there is no separate downloadable form).
You need to be logged on as a member to start the application process. Log on HERE.
Once logged in, you are asked to pay an initial application administrative fee of $20.00 and you will be asked to complete an online application form.
Note that the $20 is for listing EITHER as Spiritual Director OR Supervisor or BOTH.
In addition to the online form, you are requested to ask two referees to each complete a "Referee form - Application for Listing on ANSD website".
Download the "Referee form - Application for Listing on ANSD website" HERE
You will be asked to send it to your referees, requesting that they return the completed form to
Membership Listing Secretary.
You are requested to provide as referees:
(1) Your supervisor or a member of your peer supervision group in your work of spiritual direction who has known you for at least one year; AND
(2) A minister of religion, home group leader, spiritual director, elder or other leader of a faith community in which you have participated in the last three years.
Once you have submitted your application online, paid your application fee and we have heard back from both your referees, we will respond to you.
Once your name has been included on the website, there will be an annual follow-up email (around May) for you to confirm there have been no changes. There will be a small administrative charge of $10 p.a. for this.
In applying, members agree that their information will be available to the public on the ANSD website and that their referees may be contacted.
NOTE you must be logged in for the online application form to be available when you check out.
For any questions related to the application process, please contact the
Membership Listing Secretary.
