South Coast Therapy & Support Group is proud to announce that both Directors, Claire Carson and Nathan Carson, have been recognised as finalists in the Outstanding Business Leader category at the 2026 Shoalhaven Business Awards.

This recognition reflects a shared commitment to supporting people, strengthening communities and creating opportunities for growth.


Leadership Is About People

While business leadership awards focus on individuals, successful organisations are built by teams.


Claire and Nathan firmly believe that leadership is about helping others succeed.

Whether supporting clinicians, administration staff, clients or community organisations, their focus has always been on creating environments where people can thrive.


Growing Allied Health Services Across the South Coast

Under their leadership, South Coast Therapy & Support Group has expanded from a local occupational therapy service into a multidisciplinary allied health organisation supporting people throughout the Shoalhaven and Illawarra.


This growth has included the development of:

  • Occupational Therapy services

  • Speech Pathology services

  • Allied Health Assistant programs

  • Therapy groups

  • Assistive Technology services

  • Home Modification services

  • Community-based programs such as Sense Rugby


The goal has always been to improve access to high-quality allied health services within regional communities.


Supporting the Next Generation of Professionals

A key focus of leadership within the organisation has been investing in people.


This includes:

  • Professional development

  • Clinical mentoring

  • Workplace wellbeing initiatives

  • Leadership development opportunities

  • Career progression pathways


By supporting clinicians and support staff to grow professionally, we strengthen our ability to provide quality services to clients and families.


Community Connection Matters

Both Claire and Nathan are passionate advocates for the Shoalhaven and Illawarra regions.


They believe that businesses play an important role in building stronger communities through collaboration, innovation and service.


This commitment continues to influence the direction and values of South Coast Therapy & Support Group.


A Shared Achievement

This recognition belongs not only to Claire and Nathan but also to the entire team whose hard work, dedication and passion make the organisation what it is today.

We are incredibly grateful to our clients, families, staff and community partners for their ongoing support.
