Thank you Little Pig Consulting!


A MASSIVE THANK YOU to the team from Little Pig Consulting who once again have gone above and beyond to capture our story. Your ongoing care and generosity towards Protea Place is so appreciated!


Protea Place Warwick has hit the 6 Month mark of our 12 month Pilot Program. Jo and Karen are working incredibly hard and achieving the most heartwarming and positive outcomes for local women.

We are calling on you all to stay on the journey with us and support us in any capacity that you can. Our focus is making sure we can continue the pilot but we need to ensure we are financially viable. We are working with government departments to secure a funding contribution to assist our work.


Thank you to each and every person who has donated and supported us. We truly appreciate you all! Thank you also to our video ambassadors who are helping us spread the word and share the journey !


So if you need a video done for you business, group or other..... you need to speak to the team from Little Pig Consulting and tell them Protea Place sent you !!

Important Update: Louise Hunt

22 April 2025
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we, the Protea Place team, try to articulate the profound sadness and grief we feel at the loss of our beautiful friend, Louise Hunt. Today, standing alongside Mayor Geoff McDonald , we struggled to find words adequate to express the devastation that has gripped our community. The raw emotion and visible distress of our Mayor spoke volumes about the impact Louise had on everyone who knew her.

MASSIVE SHOUTOUT: Celebrating Our Amazing Local Supporters! Today, we want to shine a light on the incredibly generous and supportive local businesses who are the backbone of Protea Place, helping us make our everyday operations possible. Many of these wonderful businesses have been with us since we opened our doors in 2019 and continue to stand alongside us in unwavering support of our community. From having 100% of our rent covered by the incredible TUFF Australia , to the beautiful complimentary floral arrangements provided by Floral Image Ipswich & Darling Downs , every single contribution is deeply valued and treasured.

Thanks to Lou's Place

8 April 2025
Huge thanks to Lou's Place ! Six years ago, in our early days of dreaming and building Protea Place, we journeyed to Sydney to visit the incredible Lou's Place . It was the closest model we could find to the vision we held, a beacon of hope in action for vulnerable women. We spent a day surrounded by kindred spirits – women utterly devoted to creating a better world. We spoke the same language, shared the same unwavering determination, and knew we had found our tribe. [ Link to ABC Compass story about Lou's Place ] Lou's Place generously shared their invaluable knowledge, learnings, and insights from their many years of incredible work. While six years have brought changes – a move to a new home in Redfern and the natural evolution of staff – the bond forged that day remains a cherished part of Protea Place's history. Amanda D, Jacqui, and Amanda T made that crucial trip possible six years ago, allowing the Toowoomba Women's Collective to learn from Lou's Place's 20 years of impactful work. We continue to admire your vital work in providing a safe and non-judgmental space for women in crisis. Thank you for your pioneering spirit and for showing us what's possible!
