Three Presbyteries have undergone name changes and four have had their boundaries changed, following decisions by the 2008 General Assembly.

Presbyteries affected are Hawkesbury, Sydney North, Sydney South and Illawarra.

The Presbytery of Dubbo is now the Presbytery of the Central West, while the Presbytery of the Murrumbidgee is the Presbytery of the Riverina and the Presbytery of Bathurst the Presbytery of the Central Tablelands.

Meanwhile, the boundaries of the Presbytery of the Hawkesbury have changed. As a result, Castle Hill becomes part of the Presbytery of Sydney North; Camden, Campbelltown, Ingleburn and Liverpool become part of the Presbytery of Sydney South; and Wollondilly part of the Presbytery of Illawarra.
