Catholic, Anglican, Uniting, Orthodox, Baptist, various Pentecostal groups, Salvation Army, Church of Christ, Presbyterian, Seventh Day Adventist and Lutheran are all quite active in Australia. There is a tendancy for the larger traditional denominations to be declining while the Pentecostal - such as the Assemblies of God and CRC - or non-denominational ones grow. In certain areas, a particular denomination may be more active due to historic circumstances.

In uniting, the members of those bodies testified "to that unity which is both Christ's gift and will for the Church" (Basis of Union, para. 1).

Care must be taken in identifying those people who hold Christian views, compared to those who identify with Christianity as a cultural identity or for family association. An AC Neilsen poll taken in 2009 classified 50% of Australians as Christian; 5% Christian (Universal Spirit only); 3% Unsure (Christian background); 8% "Non-believer (Christian background)" - so 63% of Australians identified themselves in some way with Christianity, but only 50% were actual Christians.
Confirming a lower figure for actual believers, 49% of Australians said they believed in God, 11% believed in a "Universal Spirit" and 7% believed in both. Those who either believed in God (only) or God plus a Universal Spirit totalled 57%. These figures would presumably include Muslims and Jews.
