About the Company
Lutheran Education Australia (LEA) is committed to the mission and ministry of the Lutheran Church of Australia and New Zealand (LCA/NZ) through supporting quality education in which the gospel of Jesus Christ informs all learning and teaching, all human relationships and all activities.
Over 44,000 students receive their education in 78 Lutheran schools throughout Australia (except the ACT). In addition, it is estimated that over 4,000 children are educated and cared for in 58 Lutheran early childhood services around the nation.

In Lutheran Education, the desire is to see every person flourish in their work and life.
