Wellness and Support Program
The LCA is committed to the ongoing wellbeing of our church workers. The LCA’s Church Worker and Family Wellness and Support Program is one of the supports that we offer our church workers at no personal cost. Care and support are crucial elements in enabling church workers to perform to the best of their ability. Good care and support benefits not only the individual, but also their calling/employing body, their ministry, colleagues and family.

About the Wellness and Support Program
The LCA is committed to the ongoing wellbeing of our church workers. The LCA’s Church Worker and Family Wellness and Support Program is one of the supports that we offer our church workers at no personal cost.
If you are on the Roll of Pastors (currently on active service), on the Roll of Lay Workers, or an employee paid through the LCA HRS, you can access the LCA’s Church Worker and Family Wellness and Support Program. Immediate family members living at the same address also have access to this program.
The Church Worker and Family Wellness and Support Program provides short-term, solution-oriented counselling, coaching and referrals to support you in meeting the challenges and demands of work and personal life. The program is not intended to replace pastoral care and support but can be considered a useful addition.
Empatia, our program provider, is a Christian organisation which provides Christ-centred caring, compassionate and confidential support to address personal and professional challenges.
Their consultants are here to support our church workers through a variety of situations, including:
- Workplace conflicts
- Relationship issue
- Anxiety and depression
- Stress management
- Grief counselling
- Trauma support
When you contact Empatia, one of our four link consultants will determine the best support worker based on your specific needs.
