About Us
UnitingCare Australia is an agency of the National Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA). We represent the UCA’s network of UnitingCare community services of which there are over 1,300 service delivery sites nationwide. The UnitingCare network is one of the largest providers of community services in Australia, providing services to more than 2 million Australians each year, employing 35,000 staff and 24,000 volunteers nationally. It provides services to older Australians, children, young people and families, Indigenous Australians, people with disabilities, the poor and disadvantaged, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and older Australians in urban, rural and remote communities.

UnitingCare Australia is focussed on representing the UnitingCare network of service providers' views to the Federal Government, and advocating for those policies and practices which enhance the dignity of people, especially those who are most disadvantaged and marginalised.

UnitingCare Australia also actively maintains and builds relationships with key stakeholders to deliver higher levels of access and influence, and works, as appropriate, with other churches and peak organisations in the community services field.

The work of UnitingCare Australia (UA) is grounded in:

  • The expertise of UnitingCare service providers.
  • The experiences of the people who access UnitingCare services.
  • The values and vision of the Uniting Church in Australia.
