My car, 09 Subaru Impreza, uses synthetic oil. It's our secondary family car and lately doesn't come close to 5k kms in a whole year. Currently around 2700km driven since the last oil change which was almost a year ago. Should I be getting it changed more regular even though it's not driven very much?

Yes.
Many fluid changes are based on mileage or a certain period of time, whichever occurs first.
In the case of oil, change it when you hit the applicable mileage or 1 year from the date of the last oil change, if you don't hit the mileage number by the time that the 1-year anniversary rolls around.
