Nulsen Haven was a home for children with intellectual disabilities. It was run by the Mentally Incurable Children's Association (MICA) in the Perth suburb of Redcliffe from 1956. In May 1975 a new dormitory was opened at Nulsen Haven. In 1986, MICA became the Nulsen Haven Association Inc (known as 'Nulsen'). By 1992, the Home was closed and the now-adult residents were transferred to community-based Homes.
