Other information added recently: opening and closing times of Convention, to enable delegates and visitors to book flights. Visit the Travel page.

Proposals should be submitted using this template, signed, and sent to the Synod Secretary at synod@lca.org.au in Word format.

LCA staff have offered their parking spaces to congregations for mission fundraising. So, for the bargain price of $10 you'll not only get a handy car park, you'll also be supporting a local Lutheran mission. Please alert all your members to this offer.
