The  Uniting Church hopes for a world where all people are able to participate in the decision making of their country. We believe that the hope for peace and justice is strongest when governments respect their citizens, uphold their human rights, support their liberties and enable free and open participation in the political process.

UnitingJustice is, therefore, committed to working for a healthy, functioning and transparent Australian democracy. We believe that this provides a strong foundation for a flourishing society and that engagement in public debate by civil society voices should be actively encouraged. UnitingJustice will continue to be an enthusiastic participant in this process, support the Church’s voice in the public forum on issues within its mandate and encourage Church members to be informed about and  engaged in political life.
