Sarah Macrae of 24/7 Care Disability Services And Activity Hub has taken out third place in the Disability Services and Disabled Business Excellence categories at the 2025 AusMumpreneur Awards.
Created by sisters Peace Mitchell and Katy Garner, the AusMumpreneur Awards celebrate the achievements of Australian mums in business across a wide range of categories, including Macrae is the founder of 24/7 Care Disability Services, built from nearly three decades in the disability sector and her own lived experience as a parent.
“We solve the problem of isolation and inaccessibility by creating safe, inclusive, and vibrant spaces where people with disabilities can connect, build skills, and belong – whether through social events, life skills programs, or community support,” she said.
Macrae said she was excited to receive the bronze medals and proud to have grown 24/7 Care Disability Services to incorporate 46 staff and 66 participants.
Macrae also earned bronze for Best Community Service, an Honourable Mention in the Disability Sector, and Silver in Diversity and Inclusion at the Women Changing the World Awards 2025, alongside multiple national and global finalist titles.
“As a three-time co-author (Purpose and Passion, Women Living Fearlessly, Dreams and Determination), my greatest achievement remains creating a community where people with disabilities feel safe, valued, and truly belong,” she said.
“I love running my business because it’s more than work – it’s a family.
“Every day I get to see people find their voice, their people, and their place in the world, and that’s the greatest reward there is.”
Macrae has lots of advice for other women thinking about starting their own enterprise.
“Don’t wait for the perfect time – it doesn’t exist,” she said.
“Start where you are, use what you have, and keep going no matter how many times you’re told you can’t.”
With support from Business Events Victoria, this year’s Women Changing the World Awards were held in regional Victoria for the first time, showcasing Geelong as a thriving hub for innovation, creativity, and women-led business.
“This event offered women an opportunity to find connection, support and inspiration while also celebrating their success with others who understand the journey of business and parenting.” co-founder Peace Mitchell said.
