The Baustralian Chaplaincy Branch, formerly the Baustralian Corps of Chaplains, is a personnel branch of the Baustralian Armed Forces consisting of the Chaplain General, the Duke of Cascadia, the Chaplain General of Baustralia. Personnel in this branch hold officers' commissions, but do not hold any specific rank, but referred to as Chaplain. The Chaplain general has a pay rate of OF-8 (Vice admiral, lieutenant general). The Chaplains of the Fleet, or of the Land, OF-5 (captain, colonel, respectively). Other chaplains hold a pay rate of OF-2 (lieutenant, captain, flight lieutenant).

In the Baustralian Army, however, two more ranks exists. Brigade chaplains hold the paygrade of OF-3 (Major), and Divison chaplains, OF-4 (Lieutenant colonel).
