23.01.2022 Together with national leaders of the Uniting Church and the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress, we stand solemnly alongside protesters in the United States following the tragic death of George Floyd. We share their grief, outrage and frustration at the systemic racism that allows such incidents to happen again and again in the United States. We should also be righting injustice at home.... We urgently need to address both the underlying socioeconomic factors that bring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people into contact with the justice system, as well as the systemic racism within our institutions.

We look forward to supporting our local community through winter and these challenging times ahead.

10.01.2022 Its National Volunteers Week from 18 May 24 May. This years theme is Changing Communities. Changing Lives. Thank you to all our amazing Uniting Volunteers, who give up their time generously, making a difference in their local communities.

06.01.2022 A message from Uniting Vic.Tas CEO, Bronwyn Pike March 16, 2020 Like lots of other organisations, we are getting to grips with what COVID-19 means for us. We operate hundreds of programs across two states, so its inevitable that somewhere, our services will be directly affected. We are closely following all advice coming from state and federal governments.... We are cancelling all non-essential events that bring together people from different locations. We are also looking into how we can keep open services that people rely on, such as emergency relief. As this situation develops, we will likely have to make changes to some of our services or locations. If this will affect you directly, the local team will be in touch to let you know what the arrangements are. They are also the best people to go to if you have questions about your service. Well keep monitoring the situation and following the advice coming from the authorities. Our main message to everyone is to keep doing your bit to limit the spread of the virus. Wash your hands regularly and use sanitiser when you can. Avoid big groups. If you can, travel on public transport at off-peak times. Think about the people in your community that need more support at this time, such as those who are staying at home or that are more vulnerable to the virus. See more

An increase in demand for face masks is making it hard for many vuln...erable and marginalised people in our communities to access them. If youre handy with a sewing machine or needle and thread, wed love your help to make masks, which will be distributed across Uniting Vic.Tas and Uniting AgeWell services.
