Housing Service
How we help you and your family
ATSICHS Brisbane Housing Service, named Ngumpi uruue means ‘the camp made of branches’.
Ngumpi Uruue provides high-quality, community-led crisis accommodation and support for women and their children in the Brisbane and Logan region. There are also currently plans to expand this service over the coming years.
We are dedicated to mob and the delivery of culturally safe, affordable and stable housing solutions.
We support families throughout their stay with culturally appropriate and personalised case management care to reach their identified goals. We’ll also work with you to transition from crisis accommodation to secure long-term housing.
Our team can help you with:
- sourcing long-term accommodation with case management support
- referring you to our wraparound health and community services, including medical and dental clinics, social health, maternal health, allied health and also child and family services
- referrals for appropriate services, networks, and also support services
- information on services and programs to help and support your family.

Joyce Wilding Hostel
Joyce Wilding Hostel opened in 1970 in Eight Mile Plains, Brisbane. Originally a refuge for Aboriginal widows, deserted mothers, and children, the hostel provided short-term accommodation during its time.
Joyce Wilding Hostel was closed and demolished in late 2021. The new development has been renamed Kaggarabah (place of the porcupine/echidna, Mt Gravatt and surrounds) and is due to open early 2024.
NRSCH accreditation took place 16 November 2021, waiting for final report.
