Uniting Care Australia

Synods are state councils of the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA). The word "synod" also describes the annual statewide meetings of members of the Uniting Church of Australia (UCA).

The elected head of each synod is the Moderator, and a General Secretary is usually appointed as the chief executive officer.

The UCA has six synods responsible for overall support and resourcing of the church in their area - especially in community services.

While every Synod manages their community services differently, they all operate as part of the UnitingCare network.

• Synod of Queensland
• Synod of New South Wales
• Synod of Victoria and Tasmania
• Synod of South Australia
• Synod of Western Australia
• Northern Synod
