The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is facing calls to provide more secular support alternatives to religious chaplains amid concerns for the health and well-being of its members. Col. Phillip Hoglin, a military researcher and reservist, highlighted that while the ADF is becoming less religious, it has only a few secular support officers. This situation is causing secular ADF members to avoid seeking help from chaplains with differing and conservative views on abortion, sexuality, and relationships. Despite two-thirds of the ADF being non-religious, the number of Pentecostal and Evangelical chaplains has increased. Hoglin stated, "It is almost inevitable that members with no religious affiliation will exceed three-quarters of the total ADF permanent force population by the end of this decade," and argued that the ADF must provide some "secular wellbeing capability" for its members or risk their health. The Department of Defence said it would assess a navy trial for secular officers next year and that alternative support services to religious chaplains were available for ADF members.
