At Uniting, we believe in taking real steps to make the world a better place. We work to inspire people, enliven communities and confront injustice.

Our services are in the areas of aged care, disability, child and family, community services, and chaplaincy and we get involved in social justice and advocacy issues that impact the people we serve. As an organisation we celebrate diversity and welcome all people regardless of lifestyle choices, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation or gender identity.

We are one of the largest not-for-profit community service providers in NSW and the ACT, with a rich history of providing services to the community for more than 100 years.  We have more than 550 services, as far north as Tweed Heads, as far west as Broken Hill, and as far south as the ACT.

People are at the heart of everything we do at Uniting.  Our work with Aboriginal peoples and their communities is particularly important as we strive to create better outcomes for Australia’s First Peoples and a future that is self-determined and self-governed.
