Ballarat South Uniting Church Complex is historically significant for its representation ofthe confluence of several Christian congregations from the local area - of the Sebastopol Methodist Church and Rubicon Street Methodist Church, and later the joining of this combined congregation with the Zion Congregational Church to form the Uniting Church. The structure also includes a stone memorialising another church dating to the end of the 19th century, although the name and location of this church is not known. (Criterion A and G)

Ballarat South Uniting Church Complex is architecturally significant as a representative example of the survival of the Gothic Revival style into the late interwar period. In addition to ecclesiastical features such as lancet windows and a bell tower, it adopts the elements from a contemporary residential style - Old English Revival. (Criterion D)
