Registered Nurse

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.

Street to Home provides support to people who are experiencing chronic homelessness to move into and sustain long term housing through a Housing First approach. People experiencing homelessness experience high rates of chronic illness, mental health, and substance use issues. Critical to support a Housing First approach is the integration of primary health care services that are effective, efficient and community orientated to those experiencing homelessness or are vulnerably housed.

The After-Hours Nurses operate seven days per week requiring roster flexibility across the seven days.
