Lutheran Nurses

About us

Founded in 1991, the Lutheran Nurses Association of Australia (LNAA) is an auxiliary of the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA). Founded in 1991 and with members in all states of Australia, it encourages members to see their profession as a service to Christ and provides spiritual support and practical guidance.

It promotes opportunities for discussion, mutual sharing, moral support and fellowship, and is the LCA's support body for parish nursing.
