The Wayside Chapel is a charity and parish mission of the Uniting Church in Australia in the Potts Point area of Sydney.

A crisis centre was established in 1971 to handle crises which might arise at any time of day or night, including drug overdoses and possible suicides.

In the late 1990s, Pastor Ray Richmond and others established a "tolerance room" where people who inject drugs were able to do so in a supervised environment, as an act of civil disobedience.

[13] In July 2009, the Wayside Chapel received a grant of $2 million from the state government for the purpose of rebuilding its physical facilities.

[14] On 19 May 2012 Wayside held the grand opening of its newly redeveloped building, designed by Environa Studio, the product of an A$8.2 million investment, five years of fundraising and 22 months of construction.

The new building also includes a rooftop garden with over 50 varieties of vegetables, fruit, flowers and herbs, along with a bee hive, worm farm and compost.

Ted Noffs intended the Wayside Chapel to be a place where action came before preaching and engagement with the community was more important than going to church on Sunday.
