A massive thank you Toowoomba Together Inc!


The winner of the prestigious Paul Myatt Memorial Safer Region Award is Amanda Dalton, Founder and CEO of Protea Place!


Paul Myatt was an outstanding member of our community who championed the cause of non-violence in our community and worked tirelessly to make our region safer for everyone. He was part of the initial Toowoomba Says No to Violence team that evolved into Toowoomba Together Inc. and working for the Police as a Community Crime Prevention Officer.


Much of the ethos of what Toowoomba Says No to Violence started and subsequently Toowoomba Together became was from his drive and the direction he helped us create.


It's an absolute honour to receive this award. Protea Place are a small team doing what we can in our community to assist vulnerable women xx


This is for all the brave women we have and continue to serve!

A massive thank you to The Avenues of Highfields ! One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is transforming houses into safe and beautiful homes for women and children recovering from domestic and family violence. The Avenues of Highfields made a generous donation of stunning homewares and furniture from one of their display homes. This has allowed us to create a truly beautiful and healing environment for a family in need. We don't just furnish houses; we create spaces of healing, helping women and children get their lives back on track. And a special shoutout to our amazing Protea Place staff, Ash and Kat, who worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life! We don't just furnish houses; we create spaces of healing!

Happy International Women's Day 2025 from Millmerran! Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day with the Millmerran Collective and community, filled with incredible generosity! We are beyond excited to announce that they raised an overwhelming $45,000 towards our Protea Place Women’s Accommodation Project! This brings our total to a remarkable $941,061, bringing us even closer to purchasing a property in 2025 to provide safe haven for vulnerable women in our region.
