Case Study: The Uniting Church in Australia (Queensland Synod) builds a unified, values-driven global community with Perkbox

The Uniting Church in Australia, Queensland Synod uses Perkbox to build a harmonised and global community

The Uniting Church in Australia’s Queensland Synod — a state council supporting 250+ congregations, 19 schools, 520 care outlets and multiple presbyteries — faced a fragmented culture and misalignment with its mission following a realignment project and remote working. Seeking an engaging, values-driven way to reconnect staff and embed organisational values, the Synod chose Perkbox’s global platform, using its Celebration and Culture hubs, polls and peer-to-peer recognition features.

Perkbox implemented a single global app that enabled timely recognition, regular engagement polls and a Culture hub integrated into induction and learning. The Uniting Church in Australia reports measurable impact since launch: $17,395 saved, 182 recognitions sent, 200 users and $29k+ spent by the team on Perkbox; the platform has supported onboarding during a transition of 24 childcare centres (300+ staff) and helped rebuild a shared, values-led culture.
