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 Women and Girls’ Health Hub is funded by Queensland Health to offer services to all women and girls with a focus on priority communities of women and girls who experience worse long-term health outcomes than the general population, due to significant barriers that impact these communities such as lack of culturally safe and appropriate health care. The Hub will offer a mix of medical, nursing, counselling, and social services. True Relationships and Reproductive Health and Women’s Health and Equality Queensland will also be offering services from the Hub.
