Calling For Pastoral Carers from the Pastoral Care Working Group
We are looking for pastoral carers who are willing to serve the church. We will offer free training and support to equip you to offer pastoral care for church members. Experienced pastoral carers are also encouraged to register. We provide a process that equips and supports you in this vital work. Your pastoral care will aim to be empathic, caring, loving, inclusive, and responsive to all people. If you are interested in this opportunity, please apply online or via printable Word or PDF.
To apply online go to https://lutheranchurchofaustralia.cmail20.com/t/t-l-eabky-tlbiruls-j/
Applications should be submitted by 31 March 2024. If using one of the printable forms, please either scan it and email it to pastoralcare@lca.org.au or post it to LCA Pastoral Care, PO Box 731, North Adelaide SA 5006.
Further resources are available soon, including resources to support individuals, congregations, and church leaders. Please be proactive in sharing this material in your congregation, small groups, and the wider church so we can all pastorally care for each other. You are welcome to email pastoralcare@lca.org.au with any queries you may have.

Working with Children Checks (WWCCs) were introduced in July 2019 and are valid for 5 years. This means that checks issued in 2019 will commence expiring as of 1 July 2024. If you require a WWCC, you can update your check up to 6 months before it expires. Clearances can take up to 6 weeks to be issued to you. Due to this, we recommend applying at least 2 months before the expiry date. WWCC application forms to update your check can be found here. Please remember that any volunteer or employee without a valid WWCC must step down from their role until they obtain a valid clearance.
