The Board for Lutheran Education Australia oversees the administration of the following three funds in support of Lutheran schools in Australia:
Ministry and worship in schools and early childhood services are guided by a series of policies, which are adopted across the country. These policies cover Lutheran Church of Australia doctrine and practice.
Leadership and management of Lutheran learning communities is enhanced with robust policies, guidelines and resources to assist leaders in schools and early childhood services. Leaders are encouraged to review and keep up to date with these materials.
Staffing of Lutheran learning communities is guided by a set of policies covering matters including accreditation and inclusion. Leaders and administrative staff are encouraged to familiarise themselves with materials.
Pastors play an integral role in supporting the spiritual health of Lutheran learning communities. Pastors, Chaplains, District Church Councils, school leaders and administrators are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the policies and guidelines relating to the role of Pastors in our communities.
