The College maintains a policy that it "welcomes people of all faiths and none." This means the College is supportive of students of all religions and supports them to continue their individual spiritual practices. Trinity College does have a dedicated chaplain who can provide spiritual guidance for students from Christian faiths. He is also available to provide pastoral support for students of other religious backgrounds and can help to connect them to appropriate places and communities within which they can practice their religion while in Melbourne.
