Connections UnitingCare is an amalgamation of several agencies brought together in May 2000. Connections provides services including adolescent community placement, adoption and permanent care and an adoption information service. Connections holds adoption records for all the Uniting Church's babies' facilities and children's facilities. These facilities include institutions formerly operated by the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches. Connections also holds admission registers for the Presbyterian Sisterhood Home. In July 2017, the organisation became known as Uniting - Connections.
