LCA Insurance in safe hands

The LCANZ welcomes experienced insurance manager Lucinda Osborne as the new manager of LCA Insurance.

Lucinda succeeds Graeme Tscharke, who is transitioning to retirement after managing LCA Insurance for 37 years. Graeme will work alongside Lucinda until at least 30 June this year to facilitate a smooth handover.

‘Graeme is renowned for his outstanding services to our insurance members and the knowledge he has built up over these years will be missed, as will his kind and friendly nature’, Lucinda said. ‘The church gives thanks for his amazing contribution!’

While she said Graeme’s were ‘big shoes to fill’, Lucinda is looking forward to her role managing insurance and risk for the LCA.

‘I am excited to have been given the opportunity to further serve our LCA community on this new journey and look forward to getting to know everyone further along the way’, she said.

Lucinda has been working for the LCANZ for the past five years, firstly as the project officer for the NSW Website integration project and, most recently, as Local Mission Coordinator.

Prior to joining the Churchwide Office staff, she worked in the insurance industry for more than 20 years, holding roles including state manager, finance manager and operations manager. Lucinda holds qualifications in insurance, management and governance, and is an Associate of the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and an Affiliate of the Governance Institute. She has a passion to serve and is also currently a Board Director with Lutheran Disability Services and the vice-chair and Synod representative for her local congregation at Our Saviour Lutheran Church Semaphore in suburban Adelaide.

LCA Insurance has moved and is now situated within the LCANZ Churchwide Office at 197 Archer Street at North Adelaide in South Australia. It can be contacted by phone on 08 8267 7330, or via email at insurance@lca.org.au
