Lutheran Care

Lutheran Care Lutheran Care provides community services in South Australia and the Northern Territory. Ours is a powerful and persistent voice for the voiceless.

At Lutheran Care, we believe our communities are stronger when each and every person feels included and cared for. Founded 50 years ago on the principles of the Lutheran Church, we have always been champions of advocacy and equity, serving the needs and fighting for the rights of those who have fallen through the cracks of the system. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, we will walk side by s

ide with you, regardless of cultural background, sexual orientation, gender identity, belief systems or circumstances. Beyond working to have a lasting, positive impact on people’s lives, we are determined to build hope, understanding and drive long-term systematic change. Unbound by convention, we are leaders in our sector and community, always exploring new, innovative ways of helping people find comfort and purpose. We seek no reward or recognition beyond doing what’s right for our people. This is what inspires and drives us. It is the source of our unity and our strength. Caring and warm, we are guided by faith and compassion, always listening, advocating and building stronger communities where people can belong and thrive. SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES:

🌸 Spring is finally here!

If the new season has given you a spring in your step and a renewed urge to sort out your home, why not make it a spring clean for the ages?

Declutter your drawers, clear out those cupboards and give your pre-loved treasures a second chance – because your donations can help Lutheran Care support South Australians in need.

If you have good-quality pre-loved clothing, shoes, accessories, homewares, bedding, toys or bric-a-brac that still have plenty of life left in them, bring them along to your nearest Elcies Thrift Store or our Blair Athol Donation Distribution Centre.

Our rule of thumb? Is it good enough that you’d give it to a friend?

If the answer is yes, please bring it into our volunteers at Lutheran Care. We’ll make sure your generous donation goes to good use.

🍭 Only two performances remain!

There are just two performances left of State Opera South Australia's five-star production of Hansel & Gretel, with tickets still available for tonight (Thursday 27 August) and Saturday 29 August at Her Majesty's Theatre.

And there’s an added reason to book through Lutheran Care’s dedicated link: a portion of every ticket purchased will be donated to Lutheran Care to help us prevent homelessness.

We’re grateful to State Opera South Australia for the opportunity to be part of this partnership, and for welcoming some of our team and guests to experience this wonderful production.

Congratulations to the cast, crew and everyone at SOSA on a brilliant show — and thank you for helping us turn a great night out into practical support for people experiencing hardship.

Last Saturday, Lutheran Care's Central Intake Service team in Alice Springs were invited to attend the 2026 National NAIDOC Week Awards Ceremony - an event that recognises the outstanding contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people whose leadership, dedication and triumphs strengthen communities and inspire future generations.

The event was held in beautiful Mparntwe and brought together First Nations leaders, artists, elders and young achievers all over Australia.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees on the evening 👏❤
