The Esther Centre

The Esther Centre, an activity of Micah Projects Inc, is funded by the Queensland Department of Communities to assist people who have been experienced abuse of power or exploitation by professionals and carers, (including clergy and religious) in human services and faith communities. The advocacy and support workers at the Esther Centre work with people who have experienced abuse to explore their options for redress. Advocacy is the process of negotiation with official bodies to respond to and hear the needs of those who have been harmed – not ‘speaking for’ but intervening on behalf of those who have spoken but are not being heard. The Esther Centre facilitates workshops on abuse prevention, appropriate intervention and redress for faith communities, organisations and professionals. They also facilitate and support the Historical Abuse Network
