The Synod of NSW and the ACT is one of six Synods responsible for overall support of community services, mission planning, theological education and other educational services. The Synod is also responsible for administrating Ministers, property, finance, insurance and other shared services.

Our fundamental building blocks are local Congregations, regional Presbyteries, state Synods, and the national Assembly. They are inter-related and are also called Councils. Each Council has its own distinct tasks, and recognises the limits of its responsibilities in relation to its peers.

The information management support services include:

• Record retention and archives management
• Research services relating to historical records
• Storage of archives for ongoing preservation

The Synod Archives is the repository for records from the Uniting Church in Australia, Synod of NSW and the ACT, and its three predecessor denominations - The Congregational Union of Australia; The Methodist Church of Australasia (Wesleyan Methodist) and part of the Presbyterian Church of Australia. The collection dates from the early 1800s to the present day.
