Who We Are

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.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia as the traditional owners of this land and support the right of Indigenous people to self determination and cultural expression.

The Queensland Government supports Micah Projects in its mission to build community and break social isolation through funding agreements for the provision of services in the community.

Our History

Micah Projects began as an initiative of the St Mary’s Community in South Brisbane, a community of catholic people from across Brisbane. People, who with a passion for social justice as a contemporary and critical element of faith in action, continue to support, collaborate, and provide spiritual nourishment to anyone who chooses to participate despite now being outside the official structure of the Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane.

Incorporated in 1995, the organisation was named for the prophet Micah from Jewish tradition, whose words  represent our vision for a world in which we can support our efforts together to "act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly." Micah Projects believes these three principles are in common with all people striving for a world that supports the dignity of each human being and a just society.

Micah Projects is proud to be an active member of the community services sector in Brisbane and welcomes the opportunity to work in partnerships and collaboratively with other community agencies.
