Celebrating Our Wins at the 2024 Shoalhaven Business Awards

We are incredibly proud to have been named Business of the Year, Employer of Choice (20 Employees and Under), and recognised for Excellence in Innovation at the 2024 Shoalhaven Business Awards. These honours reflect the dedication, creativity, and passion of our entire team at South Coast Therapy & Support Group.

Winning these awards has not only affirmed the impact of our work in the community but has also created exciting opportunities for growth, connection, and innovation. Since receiving this recognition, we've been able to expand our services, strengthen partnerships, and continue improving how we deliver therapy and support across the Shoalhaven and Illawarra regions.

The recognition as Employer of Choice particularly celebrates the culture we’ve built—one that values flexibility, ongoing learning, and a team-first approach. And the award for Excellence in Innovation highlights our commitment to developing new ways to improve client outcomes and reduce the administrative burden on our therapists.

We are deeply grateful for the ongoing support from the Shoalhaven business community and beyond. These awards are a testament not just to our team’s hard work, but also to the partnerships and encouragement we've received from referrers, families, and fellow professionals.
