St Andrews Aged Care is located at 2 Sullivan Road, Tallebudgera in Queensland's southern Gold Coast, and is operated by Lutheran Services, a not-for-profit organisation with Lutheran roots that has been serving Queenslanders since 1935. The facility offers residential, respite, dementia, and palliative care in modern private ensuite rooms that overlook beautifully maintained gardens with sea breezes and panoramic views. Registered nursing staff are available 24 hours a day, and a dedicated lifestyle coordinator organises a full calendar of activities including music programmes, bus outings, art, monthly high teas, and weekly happy hours. Standout amenities include an onsite pool, cinema, library, chapel, and private BBQ/entertainment area, with chef-prepared meals cooked fresh on site. The facility also provides chaplaincy, advance care planning, and an optional Higher Everyday Living Fee (HELF) programme allowing residents to customise additional services.

Compliance action The regulator (the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission) can take formal action when a home falls short of the standards — from a direction to improve, up to a Notice of Non-Compliance or sanctions. "None current" means no action was recorded against this home in the Government's latest quarterly extract (May 2026).
