Lotus Place (Qld)

In 1998 the Esther Centre was established in Brisbane. It followed a collaboration called the Esther Project from 1994-1997, established by Catholic communities and parishes in Brisbane to address the impact of violence in Christian communities. Over this period it expanded its focus to the abuse of power in church and State institutions. In 1999, along with a community organisation called Micah Projects, the Esther Centre was awarded a Grant to support people impacted by the Forde Inquiry. In 2006, it was renamed as Lotus Place.
