Micah Projects is a community based not-for-profit organisation with a vision to create justice and respond to injustice at the personal, social, and structural levels in church, government, business, and society. We believe that every child and adult has the right to a home, an income, healthcare, education, safety, dignity, and connection with their community of choice. Micah Projects provides a range of support and advocacy services to individuals and families.
The Brisbane South Primary Health Network Capacity Building and Local Link Program enhances workforce capabilities within general practices and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Health Services in the southern region of Brisbane LGA. This program also evaluates referred patients who have suffered from domestic, family, sexual violence, or child sexual abuse, facilitating triage to the most suitable referral services. Ongoing case management is provided only when necessary, such as when referrals are delayed or for safety reasons.

Your role will involve connecting with GPs and primary health services to promote safety, equality, and respect for victim-survivors.
