Lay Workers are non-ordained persons who have felt the desire and willingness to work for the Lord in expanding the mission of the Church in a congregation, parish, district or board of the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA).

Areas of work may include youth and family ministry, outreach programs, Christian education, assisting pastors, parish nursing, camp management, chaplaincy, internship, welfare ministry, and music/worship programs.
