Great fundraising begins with purpose.

In this role, you'll enable the people and communities we serve to flourish by creating meaningful opportunities for others to invest in our purpose and impact.

The Purpose You'll Bring To Life

Lutheran Services is one of Queensland’s longest-established not-for-profit aged care and community services providers. For more than 90 years, we’ve supported Queenslanders across aged care, retirement living, home care, disability, youth and family, mental health and domestic violence services.

From grassroots beginnings to an organisation spanning more than 25 locations, we’ve continued to grow and evolve. At the heart of that growth is a simple purpose: helping people pursue the life they hope for and creating communities where wellbeing, individuality, purpose, belonging and moments of shared joy can flourish.

As we pursue the ambitious goals of our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, one thing remains unchanged: our heart for the people we serve.
