We’re Finalists! Allara Shortlisted in the 2025 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards
We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that Allara Support Services has been named a finalist in the 2025 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards! This recognition is a proud moment for our entire team and a celebration of the heart, purpose, and impact that drives everything we do.
From humble beginnings in Rachel Carey’s home to becoming an eight-figure organisation with over 350 passionate staff across NSW, Allara has always stood for one thing: putting people first. Our values-driven model — The Allara Way — empowers individuals with disabilities to live independently, confidently, and on their own terms.
Our shortlisting reflects more than just business growth. It honours our commitment to inclusive employment, our investment in leadership and innovation, and our deep connection to community. We’re proud to support incredible initiatives like the Australian Powerchair Hockey Team (The Sliders), Boccia Western Sydney, and grassroots organisations that champion visibility, inclusion, and opportunity for people of all abilities.
As Rachel Carey, our Founder and CEO, shares:
“This recognition is a reflection of the incredible people who walk alongside us — our participants, families, partners, and team. Allara was built on lived experience, love, and a belief that care should be empowering. We’re proud to be a finalist, but even prouder of the impact we make every day.”
To our community, partners, and participants — thank you. Your trust, collaboration, and belief in our mission have made this milestone possible. We are deeply grateful and excited for what’s ahead.
Here’s to continuing to lead with heart, grow with purpose, and make a lasting difference — together.
