What Nexus Care Inc does

Nexus Care Inc is a community-led, ACNC-registered not-for-profit charity and Public Benevolent Institution (Inc IA 12146; ABN 68 621 211 486) headquartered at 151 Flockton Street, Everton Park, Brisbane, with a second service site at 73 Rainbow Street, Sandgate opened in May 2022. Founded in 2011, the organization addresses food insecurity, financial hardship, and unemployment across greater North Brisbane through a portfolio of free services: the Fresh Start Food Program (4,520 food parcels / 295,220+ nutritious meals in 2025), Brekky Clubs (550+ school children weekly across five partner state schools), Career Coaching Services (Workplace English Classes, Job Clubs, 1-on-1 clinics; 480+ participants since October 2020 at a 54.2% employment outcome rate), Emergency Financial Relief (vouchers for medication, transport, and essential bills, largely funded by the Department of Social Services), and Community Connect events (Therapeutic Art Classes, social gatherings). The organization also wholly owns and operates Closeburn Country Garden, a plant nursery in Samford Valley that functions as a social enterprise — proceeds support community programs and supply fresh produce into food parcels.

Nexus Care's revenue model is multi-stream and donation-dependent. Income is drawn from individual and corporate donations (DGR-eligible), corporate sponsorship packages (Brekky Club sponsorships, Annual Golf Day), Department of Social Services funding for Emergency Financial Relief, and proceeds from the Closeburn Country Garden social enterprise. All beneficiary-facing services are free, with the sole nominal charge being a $5 contribution per food-parcel collection. Headcount is small at 8 employees, with service capacity heavily reliant on volunteers, food-donation partners (OzHarvest, SecondBite, Foodbank, FareShare, three Woolworths stores, Banneton Bakery, Rode Meats, Vegie Express, Meals on Wheels Mitchelton), and Nexus Church (which shares the Everton Park site). Distribution is exclusively in-person and domestic: services are delivered only at the two physical locations and through the partner school breakfast clubs, with a stated exclusion of postcodes 4000–4006 from the Fresh Start Food Program. The organization has set a $300K EOFY Appeal goal for 2026 and is the official 2026 charity partner of the Dolphins NRL team.
