Sydney Care Support Celebrates Another Milestone: 2026 Australian Professionals Small Business Champion Awards Finalist

Published: October 2026

We are incredibly proud to share another exciting milestone for Sydney Care Support (SCS).

Sydney Care Support has been recognised as a finalist in the 2026 Australian Professionals Small Business Champion Awards!

This announcement is especially meaningful because it comes just after we celebrated our first year of providing disability support services across Sydney.

And it marks another proud achievement in what has already been an extraordinary first year.

Earlier in 2026, Sydney Care Support was also named a finalist in the Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards, in the Disability Support Services – Small category.

Now, receiving recognition through the Australian Professionals Small Business Champion Awards gives us another reason to celebrate the journey we’ve shared with our participants, families, support workers and wider community.

For a growing disability support organisation, these milestones are deeply encouraging.

But the most meaningful part of our journey remains the people behind it.

What Are the Australian Professionals Small Business Champion Awards?

The Australian Professionals Small Business Champion Awards recognise the contribution, achievements and dedication of professionals and small businesses across Australia.

Organised by Precedent Productions, the awards celebrate businesses operating across a wide range of professional industries.

The program includes categories covering healthcare, education, disability support services, financial services, professional services and many other industries.

The 2026 awards presentation is scheduled for Saturday, 7 November 2026, at Sofitel Wentworth in Sydney.

Being selected as a finalist is an exciting opportunity for Sydney Care Support to be recognised alongside other Australian small businesses.

It also gives us a moment to reflect on the responsibility that comes with working in disability support.

Two Finalist Recognitions in Our First Year

One year ago, Sydney Care Support was just beginning its journey.

Our vision was to establish a disability support organisation built around meaningful relationships, reliable services and respect for each participant’s individual needs.

We wanted to create an environment where participants would feel comfortable expressing their preferences, discussing their goals and making decisions about their everyday support.

Since then, we have welcomed participants, developed our team and built connections across Sydney’s disability community.

And during our first year, we have been fortunate to celebrate two significant milestones.

Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards 2026

Sydney Care Support was recognised as a finalist in the Disability Support Services – Small category.

This recognition was especially meaningful for our Director, Neda, as a woman establishing and leading a disability support business.

Australian Professionals Small Business Champion Awards 2026

Sydney Care Support has now received another finalist notification, recognising the organisation through the Australian Professionals Small Business Champion Awards.

For us, these are not simply two announcements to share on social media.

They are reminders of how far SCS has come in a relatively short time.

And they encourage us to continue developing the organisation with care, professionalism and purpose.

A Special Congratulations to Our Director, Neda

Behind the Sydney Care Support journey is a great deal of determination, planning, leadership and hard work.

We would like to give a very special shout-out to Neda, Director of Sydney Care Support, for her commitment to establishing and growing the organisation.

From the earliest stages of developing SCS to welcoming participants, building a team and creating relationships within the disability community, Neda has played a central role in shaping the business.

Starting a new organisation brings many challenges.

There are systems to establish, people to support, responsibilities to manage and countless decisions to make along the way.

In disability services, those responsibilities are particularly important because the work directly affects people’s everyday lives.

Receiving two finalist recognitions during the organisation’s first year is an exciting milestone for Neda and the entire SCS team.

Congratulations, Neda!

Your dedication, determination and commitment to building a participant-focused disability support organisation have helped bring Sydney Care Support to where it is today.

We are proud to celebrate this achievement with you.

And Elisa, this one is for you. your passion, hard work and dedication have been at the heart of this journey. We’re so proud of everything you’ve achieved and of how far SCS has com.

What This Recognition Means to Our Team

At Sydney Care Support, we believe quality disability support starts with understanding the individual.

Every participant has their own personality, interests, routines, abilities, preferences and goals.

For one person, meaningful support might involve assistance with preparing meals.

For another, it might mean developing confidence when accessing the community.

Someone else may need assistance maintaining everyday routines, attending appointments or participating in social activities.

There is no single approach that works for everyone.

That’s why our focus remains on providing support that respects each person’s choices and circumstances.

This finalist recognition is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our team’s efforts while reaffirming the values that guide our work.

Respecting Participant Choice and Control

Participants should be involved in decisions about their support.

We encourage people to communicate their preferences, including the activities they enjoy, how they like assistance to be delivered and what matters most to them.

Supporting Independence

Where appropriate, our approach is to encourage participants to remain involved in everyday activities rather than automatically doing everything for them.

Small steps towards greater confidence can make a meaningful difference.

Building Genuine Connections

We understand that compatibility between participants and support workers matters.

A positive support relationship is built through communication, trust, professional boundaries and mutual respect.

Maintaining Reliable Communication

Clear communication with participants and families is essential.

From discussing service requirements to arranging regular support schedules, we aim to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Continuing to Learn and Improve

As a growing organisation, we understand the importance of listening to feedback, reviewing our processes and continuing to develop our services.

Recognition is something to celebrate, but improvement remains an ongoing responsibility.

The Everyday Moments Behind Our Journey

When we look back at our first year, some of our favourite memories come from ordinary activities.

A community outing.

A creative activity.

A visit to a local park.

Preparing food together.

Supporting someone to explore an interest.

Helping a participant become more comfortable with a familiar routine.

These experiences are important because disability support is not only about the number of hours delivered.

It is about how support fits into someone’s life.

A community outing can be an opportunity to build confidence.

Preparing a meal can become an opportunity to practise everyday skills.

Participating in a social activity can help someone pursue interests and spend time with others.

The meaning of each experience is personal to the participant.

These everyday moments continue to shape our understanding of what respectful, person-centred disability support should look like.

Why Trust Matters When Choosing an NDIS Provider

Choosing a disability support provider is an important decision.

Participants and families often want to know whether a provider will listen, communicate clearly and understand their needs.

They may also have questions about worker matching, scheduling, service agreements and how concerns are handled.

These are important considerations.

While receiving an award finalist recognition is a proud milestone for SCS, an award does not replace the need for participants to make informed decisions about their supports.

We encourage participants to ask questions, discuss their preferences and understand the services being offered before making a commitment.

Our goal is to make those conversations welcoming, respectful and informative.

Our priorities remain focused on delivering meaningful disability support and continuing to improve how we work with participants.
