Uniting for a brighter future.

2015/16

2 Uniting Annual Report 2015/16

Uniting is a community services and advocacy arm of the Uniting Church in NSW and ACT Synod. We believe in taking real steps to make the world a better place. We work to inspire people, enliven communities and confront injustice.

Our not-for-profit services cover aged care, disability, early learning, community services and chaplaincy. We stand up for social justice and speak up on issues that impact the people we serve. Uniting celebrates diversity, and we welcome all people regardless of lifestyle choices, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation or gender identity.

3Uniting Annual Report 2015/16

We are the carers, thinkers, doers, darers who strive to make a difference. In everyday trials and triumphs. For everyone, just as they are. We are over 8000 people driven to be there for others. Together, we can do even more. We can draw upon the voice deep within us and raise a collective cry that cannot be ignored. Because for us, enough is not enough. We want safer, fairer, brighter, better. For the people we serve. For all humanity, we are Uniting for greater change.

We are Uniting.A small act can sometimes be enough. A helping hand can halve a burden. One kind word can calm the nerves. At Uniting we act to have an impact.


Uniting can be the change in people’s lives that makes a difference. We are creating an inclusive, connected and just world through everyday achievements. We are Uniting.

Our annual report is a reference point for the significant work that has taken place over the past year to align Uniting with widespread changes across the services sector. Government policy reforms, increased market competition in some segments and community expectations are driving advancements in the ways we do business.

Our role requires absolute clarity in our governance and what it means to be part of the Church in a rapidly changing world. How we continue to advocate for the people we serve while also delivering services on behalf of government, and appropriately manage for sustainable growth, depends on our ability to adjust to the new disruptive environment.

We have devoted much time and energy to considering not only the operational implications for NSW and the ACT but also our future strategies. We are revitalising

Uniting through new business models, and reorienting our workforce across the organisation.

The Synod of the Uniting Church has considerable capacity, and our mission demands that we apply it for the wellbeing of our local communities. We have put sizable resources into learning how congregations might be empowered to respond to their local community needs.

As part of the wider church, we have also reflected on the issues raised by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and actively supported the wider Church’s contribution to that inquiry. We have actioned new measures to demonstrate further our commitment to providing the best care to those people who are the most vulnerable.

On behalf of the Board, I thank the executive director, Peter Worland and his executive team for their passion and commitment to their teams and the people we are here to serve.

I acknowledge the service and leadership of our outgoing Chairperson, Rev Gordon Ramsay who stood aside

Chairperson’s Overview

from his role on the Board in August 2016 to participate in the 2016 ACT Election. We congratulate him on his election and on his subsequent appointment to government, with ministerial responsibilities. Gordon continues to serve out his calling through this new role, and his perspective and experience which has been invaluable during his leadership at Uniting are now being offered to the broader community through this next stage of his life journey.

I also thank those who completed their board terms during the year. Jacki Watts, Tony Stephenson and Raymond McMinn made invaluable contributions to the Board and the expertise and perspectives they offered, deepened the discussions and decisions of the Board.

Together with my fellow Board members, I look forward to the future and realising our goals to be inclusive, connected and contributing to a just world.

Heather Watson Chairperson


“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

(1 Peter 4:10 NIV)

At Uniting, we act to have impact. Being faithful stewards of God’s grace drives us to work every day to better the lives of the people we serve.

This year has brought challenges, and we have responded by making some significant changes to the way we work.

Changes to government funding for disability services and the move to consumer-directed care are two examples of major shifts in service delivery models. We support this trend to empower people to make their own decisions about the services they receive and welcome the opportunity to work within a framework that supports a respectful and compassionate approach.

The pillars of our new brand - ‘Be the change’, ‘Better together’ and ‘Be yourself’ guide our work daily.

Uniting to create impact and change. Our ability to compete without compromising is critical to our mission. As deregulation

Executive Director’s Report

altered the landscape and new entrants appeared, we put in place measures to streamline our processes and set ourselves on the path to a strong and sustainable future.

Being an organisation that can adapt to change and still deliver on its purpose has also meant introducing a new internal structure.

We now have three areas within the business: differentiators, enablers and service delivery.

Differentiators focus on our customer experience, marketing, practice and quality, and mission. Enablers are our information technology, property, human resource and financial management teams. Service delivery represents our thousands of frontline people who are making a difference through education, health care and fitness, residential living, lifestyle, family and community programs.

The new structure stays true to our Church foundation and will expand our capability to deliver customer-driven services and consistently high-quality outcomes across all programs.


Working in new, creative ways to better serve individuals and communities. As we adapt to an ever-changing and increasingly competitive environment, the importance of a strong Uniting brand is clear.

Our brand has gone from strength to strength since the external launch in May 2016, winning awards at national and state levels. We rolled out the Uniting welcome mat with our ‘We are Uniting’ experiential campaign and showcased the stories of our clients and staff in vivid displays in Sydney and Canberra.

People and relationships are at the centre of all that we do. Our newly renovated residential service at Uniting Wontama in Orange is a tangible example of our Household model. The buildings now favour small groups of people living in spacious rooms centred around large community living areas. In this way, we provide our residents with a true sense of home, with more options for independence. Our residents and their families also have a greater role in making decisions, particularly those concerning lifestyle choices that lead to a full and happy life.

Courageous action. Our foundation is to model Christ’s love in action. Thank you to our Chairperson, Heather Watson and the Board. To my executive team, our staff and volunteers, thank you for your enduring commitment to the purpose of Uniting, and your continued courageous action as we navigate through exciting and challenging times. Together we will continue to overcome the challenges as we strive to inspire people, enliven communities and confront injustice.

Peter Worland Executive Director


Better together Be the change Be yourself

We act with honesty and integrity, and open our hearts to all people without exception.

Our Highlights.

Step Up for Our Kids, a new program in partnership with the ACT Government, helps to keep vulnerable families together and children safe in their home. Assistance is tailored to specific needs and linked to a range of services.

Uniting is the first faith-based aged care organisation in Australia to be officially recognised as LGBTI friendly and received Rainbow Tick Accreditation in 2015.

Uniting begins development on a $150 million state-of-the-art aged care residential complex in Westmead, with upgrades to existing facilities, 227 new independent living units and communal living spaces.

The Uniting Church in Australia, Synod of NSW and the ACT gives the go-ahead for Uniting and Church congregations to call for the decriminalisation of illegal drug use and increased investment in harm reduction and treatment services.


The Uniting Newpin Social Benefit Bond sees 121 children restored to their birth parents in three years to 2015/16, and a further 38 children prevented from being placed in care.

Uniting Wontama in Orange and Uniting Amala in the ACT open new aged care services that feature home-style living. Residents live as part of a vibrant and active household with their own kitchen, dining room and living spaces.

Uniting is named one of Australia’s Top 10 LGBTI-friendly employers, and best Not-For-Profit employer of LGBTI people in Australia in the 2016 Pride in Diversity Awards. Also, for the second year running, Uniting picks up six awards in the annual Australian Aged Care Quality Agency (AACQA) Better Practice Awards.

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) appoints Uniting to deliver Local Area Coordination (LAC) Transition Services throughout New South Wales.

The sixth annual ‘Art from the Heart of the Cross’ exhibition takes place. For many of those who use the Uniting Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC), contributing to the exhibition is an empowering project.

UnitingCare NSW.ACT rebrands to Uniting to become Uniting in name and Uniting in nature, working as one voice. The brand launched to the public in May 2016.


Changing lives together.Change often starts with a conversation. The simple act of sharing thoughts with another can invigorate thinking, shatter conventions and break down stereotypes.

From train stations to the backs of buses, from Facebook to press ads, we engaged with the community.

Interactive displays at Martin Place and Parramatta in Sydney invited thousands of passers-by to join us for a chat and a cuppa on the welcome mat.

Our short documentary series invited strangers to sit down and have a conversation. Footage on our website and social media platforms of two people from vastly different backgrounds, sharing their experiences and life lessons brought tears to many eyes and celebrated diversity.

At Uniting, we deliver programs and services to over 48,000 people each day, but research showed that many in the wider community knew little of this. The brand launch changed that.

In February members of our staff, volunteers and clients became the faces for the launch of our brand, introducing Uniting to the world.

The campaign put a spotlight on Uniting and our values. Why we feel privileged to stand alongside the families, children, couples and seniors that we serve.

We have a long history of providing spiritual and pastoral care, particularly to our residential community at Uniting. For many, the comfort and friendship we offer are vital to their wellbeing and sense of belonging. In turn, our lives and services are also enriched by the close bonds we share with those we serve.

Our Chaplaincy and Pastoral Practice is evolving and

Mission is founded on the understanding that Christ invites us to serve humanity by creating an inclusive, connected and just world.


expanding to reach across the full range of Uniting services.

These are exciting times, and the changes we are making will create more responsive, helpful and efficient services.

We also continue to grow chaplaincy into the community with the roll out of the new civil chaplains who will serve in hospitals, prisons, mental health police and disability services.

In addition to these enhancements, Mission recently took on responsibility for several operational areas, including the Social Justice Forum, Uniting Regional Councils, Innovative Community Grants Scheme, and newly formed Church Engagement Team.

The role of church engagement is to develop collaborative

community service ventures with and on behalf of the Uniting Church in Australia. The team is already busy building connections that will help its mission to serve local communities, often encouraging church congregations to trial innovative community-based projects.

Engagement in social justice is integral to Christian discipleship. Through the Social Justice Forum, the tradition of social justice advocacy continues in the Church today. In 2016, the forum campaigned on affordable housing and Giving Hope – compassion for asylum seekers, among others. The forum stands alongside people in need of encouragement, support and a just outcome. The growth in the number of forum volunteers suggests

more people are willing to stand up for a fair and just community.

Through the Uniting Regional Councils and Innovative Community Grants Scheme, we have successfully developed a range of new projects that are better attuned to the missional eyes and ears of the Church and engage parishioners through congregational life.

Mission does not start and end with these responsibilities. Our mission is at the heart of who Uniting and the Uniting Church are, what we do and how we want to be connected in our service to the community. Mission reflects our desire to speak up with one voice on issues of justice; to be inspired in our quality of service delivery and to be reliable in our relationships with each other and those we seek to serve.


Making a difference.


The Innovative Community Grant Scheme strengthens the links between Uniting and the wider Church community through financial assistance to presbyteries and local congregations.

Scheme goals:• Promote choices and

opportunities for people and add value to people’s lives.

• Support and empower people who are disadvantaged, vulnerable or isolated.

• Create, develop or enhance cooperative relationships between local communities, church communities and Uniting service streams.

In 2015/16 the scheme helped build stronger communities through funding mission initiatives that made a difference to people experiencing social disadvantage in the community.


Together, we can do more.even

1. Reimaging our work with vulnerable and disadvantaged people and communities to meet their changing needs.

2. Uniting for the common good, strengthening our relationships across the Uniting Church to transform communities.

3. Financial acumen that builds a strong, secure future, for greater financial stability and positive impact.

4. Smart systems, innovative practice, exceptional people that support a thriving organisation.

Our strategic priorities focus our activities to build a better future that creates a brighter and fairer world for all

Residential aged careWe’re for older people always feeling at home. We offer residential care for older people who can no longer live independently at home. Our Household model offers residents a greater role in making decisions that affect their lives. It is the little things like choosing to sleep-in or setting the table for dinner that make people feel at home.

At Uniting we act for a safer, fairer, brighter future.

Early learningWe’re for lifelong learners. For children, learning begins long before the first day of school. Our qualified educators recognise and value curiosity and creativity within every child. Children who are part of our early learning, preschool and out-of-school-hours programs learn through exploration and discovery.

Independent living We’re for older people having choices. For people who choose to change where they live, we offer independent living villages in city, suburban and rural settings. Whether for family, security or downsizing reasons, our residents spend less time maintaining their homes and more time doing what they love.


communities so that programs are designed and run by Aboriginal people, recognising the importance of the right to self-determination.

Uniting Medically Supervised Injecting Centre We’re for saving lives. For people who visit the Uniting Medically Supervised Injecting Centre, we provide somewhere they can reduce the harm of their substance use. Our team of registered nurses, counsellors and health education professionals reach out and provide safety, without judgement.

Uniting War Memorial HospitalWe’re for making progress.For older people experiencing changes in their mobility or speech, our team at Uniting War Memorial Hospital specialises in rehabilitation. Our health professionals include physios and occupational and speech therapists help people to make improvements so they can enjoy a better quality of life.

Children and young peopleWe’re for keeping children and young people safe. For children and young people who can’t live with their families, our foster carers and staff provide a safe and happy home. For some, supervised contact with parents continues, and sometimes positive changes lead to families being restored. We also help young people to live in the community independently, and those whose lives are affected by drugs, alcohol and mental health issues.

DisabilityWe’re for people with disability getting the support they need. For people living with a disability, our services see them doing things they never thought possible. Knowing where to start is not always easy. Uniting stands beside people with a disability and their families to help them access what they need to achieve their goals.

Home and community care We’re for older people, living their best lives at home. For people who choose to stay living at home as they get older, we offer a range of home, community and wellbeing programs and services. Everyone is different. Our team puts together the right combination of services so people can live their best lives at home.

FamiliesWe’re for families overcoming challenges. For parents who face challenges, we provide programs to help them be the best parents they can be. Our counselling and mediation services build healthier, happier relationships. Couples going through separation learn to manage conflict, and young people build resilience and skills through our programs.

Aboriginal servicesWe’re for Aboriginal people. At Uniting, cultural understanding matters. Aboriginal staff members work with local people and their
