The Uniting Church has become the latest institution to commit to joining the $3.8 billion national redress scheme for child sexual abuse survivors.
All six synods of Australia's third largest Christian denomination and its national assembly have resolved to opt into the scheme, the church announced on Monday.
Its Australian president Stuart McMillan again apologised on behalf of the church and said it hoped the scheme would allow survivors of institutional child sexual abuse to access support to help them in their lives.
"Our motivation in joining the national redress scheme is so that more survivors across all institutions might have equitable and consistent levels of support," Mr McMillan said in a statement.
The announcement followed pledges to opt in from the two largest Christian denominations - the Catholic and Anglican churches - as well as the Salvation Army, the Scouts and the YMCA last week after the majority of states and territories signed up.
Those commitments meant the scheme will cover about 80 per cent of an estimated 60,000 eligible survivors nationwide, providing compensation up to $150,000.
All seven Uniting Church standing committees - from its national and six regional councils - have resolved to opt in to the scheme.
The synod of Western Australia's participation is conditional on the WA government becoming the final state to opt in, the church noted.
The federal government said it continued to work constructively with WA and remaining non-government institutions seeking to opt in to the redress scheme.
Like the Catholic and Anglican churches, the Uniting Church will establish a single legal entity to engage with the national scheme.
About 100 of the 8000 survivors who participated in private sessions with the child abuse royal commission said they were abused in a Uniting Church institution.
They comprised about 1.4 per cent of all private session attendees or 2.4 per cent of those who told the commission about abuse in a religious institution, the commission's final report said.
