Uniting Financial Services (UFS)

Uniting Financial Services (UFS) is one of Australia’s most established ethical and ESG-focused financial institutions, with a long-standing history of supporting the mission and ministries of the Uniting Church.

Managing approximately $1.9 billion across treasury, lending and investment operations, UFS plays a significant role in supporting churches, schools, aged care, affordable housing, retirement living, and broader community initiatives throughout New South Wales and the ACT.

Operating to APRA-aligned governance and risk standards, UFS combines disciplined financial management with a genuine commitment to long-term social and community impact.

The Board is entering an important period of renewal, with upcoming leadership succession and continued strategic growth across lending, treasury and investment activities. As part of this planned succession process, UFS is seeking to appoint two Non-Executive Directors.
