Our history of helping others

Over the last century, Lutheran congregations all over Queensland responded to the call to serve their communities and established aged care homes and other community services.

Since the first rest home in Toowoomba in 1935, we’ve carried on each congregations tradition of caring. We exist to serve, striving to meet the needs of Queenslanders on their path to a good life.
