The Uniting Church participates in state school chaplaincy and pastoral care worker arrangements across Australia. Many UCA ministers and leaders participate in local management of chaplaincy and pastoral workers, and some UCA congregations also provide financial support for such workers.

A significant number of these workers are appointed with the assistance of government funding. The oversight of such state school chaplaincy differs significantly from state to state, although there has been national co-operation from the various bodies involved in relation to employment, training and oversight standards.
