The Synod of New South Wales and the ACT is a regional council of the Uniting Church in Australia having responsibility for the congregations and presbyteries in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. From its creation in 1977 until 29 March 2008, the Synod had the shorter title of Synod of New South Wales.
The current Moderator (chairperson) of the Synod is Rev. Myung Hwa Park, elected in 2014 to serve in this role until April 2017, later extended to September 2017, when she will hand over to Rev. Simon Hansford.
Presbyteries
There are 13 presbyteries in the Synod of New South Wales and the ACT. These are regional councils with responsibility for oversight of congregations in their area, plus the Korean Presbytery.
The regional council of the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC) also functions similarly to a presbytery.
