Australian Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

There is a particularly large Seventh-Day Adventist Church presence in the suburb of Cooranbong in the Lake Macquarie region of Newcastle.

[5] Ellen White, one of the church's founders, spent nine years ministering to the Australian Adventist community from 1891 to 1900.

The church's main tertiary educational institution is Avondale University College in the Lake Macquarie region in New South Wales.

The church also operates the Sydney Adventist Hospital and the Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing Company based in Australia and New Zealand.

[citation needed] The Seventh-day Adventist church in Australia is a senior member of the Australian Christian Research Association.

The Adventist church in Victoria is likely best known to the community for its annual production "Road to Bethlehem" (website), a dramatic reenactment of events leading up to the birth of Jesus.
