Use one to three (three is better) fields to narrow your search. For example, ‘Supervisor Level’ member in the first search box, ‘Queensland’ in the second search box, and one term you are looking for in the third search box such as ‘clinical,’ ‘pastoral,’ ‘spiritual,’ ‘name,’ or ‘suburb.’ Any of the search boxes can be left unfilled (eg State if you are looking for online supervision) but you must use at least one search box.

Rev Adrian Flemming
As a pastoral supervisor and supervisor trainer for over 25 years I work in private practice to support pastoral carers, chaplains, clergy, and their supervisors.
Adrian has over 30 years of experience in ministry, having worked in both denominational leadership and with mission agencies at state, national, and international levels. His experience spans organizations including Bible Society Australia, OneHope (US-based), Scripture Union, Young Life, and Churches of Christ SA/NT. With this diverse background, he has a deep understanding of the complexities of local church ministry and the unique cultural challenges the church faces today. In particular, he has a passion to see inter-generational discipleship occur in the church. Adrian is also a member of the Australasian Association of Supervision.
During his time with Bible Society, Adrian authored The Bible According to Gen Z, and he is currently managing the Your Story research project, which involved interviews with nearly 450 young Australians to explore how the church can best support and nurture their faith. His experience and insights have enabled him to speak regularly on topics including healthy scripture engagement, and how the church can best nurture faith in the emerging generation.
Adrian embraces the role of an ‘alongsider’ in ministry—offering support not as someone with all the answers, but as a partner with the experience and skills to help others care for their soul and remain healthy in both life and ministry.
