Micah Projects

What Micah Projects does

Micah Projects is a Brisbane-based not-for-profit community services organisation founded in 1995, delivering integrated wraparound support to vulnerable populations across Queensland, Australia. The organisation operates nine core service lines: housing and homelessness services, domestic and family violence (DV) services, social enterprise and community connection, inclusive health partnerships, Lotus Services for survivors of institutional childhood abuse, supportive housing, Wellspring Services for parents and families, the Women and Girls' Health Hub, and the Young Mothers for Young Women (YMYW) program. In the 2024-25 fiscal year it employed over 300 staff across seven service locations in Queensland (Brisbane, South Brisbane, Stones Corner, Townsville, Rockhampton, Coorparoo, and Caboolture) and delivered 140,572 instances of support to 30,691 individuals.

The organisation has no proprietary technology products; service delivery is human-led through direct outreach, case management, phone hotlines, and clinical partnerships. Operations are funded principally by government grants from Brisbane City Council, multiple Queensland Government departments (Department of Child Safety, Seniors and Disability Services; Department of Housing; Queensland Health; Department of Justice and Attorney-General; Queensland Police Service), the Australian Government Department of Social Services, and two Primary Health Networks (Brisbane Metro South PHN and Brisbane North PHN), supplemented by philanthropic donations from foundations and corporate supporters including Morgans Foundation (A$25,000 annually since 2005), Abbvie, Suncorp, Mirvac, and others. All client services are provided free of charge.

Micah Projects delivers through a hybrid model combining direct in-person delivery, phone intake, and structured referral pathways from hospitals (Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, The Prince Charles Hospital, Mater Hospital), police, Queensland Health, and peer/community organisations. The flagship clinical integration is the Working Together to Connect Care (WTTCC) project, which coordinates health and social support for frequent Emergency Department presenters. Governance is led by Acting CEO Bridget Kinch (22+ year tenure) and a board chaired by Debora Jackson, with directors drawn from Queensland public service, legal, architecture, and academic social work backgrounds.
