Sarah MacRae of 24/7 Care Disability Services & Activity Hub at Tuggerah has been named as a finalist for the AusMumpreneur Awards for the Disability Services Award, Regional Business Award, and People’s Choice Local Community Business Award categories.
AusMumpreneur Awards presented by The Women’s Business School celebrate and recognise Australian mums in business who achieve outstanding success in areas such as business excellence, product development, customer service and digital innovation.
The awards are designed to recognise the growing number of women who successfully balance motherhood and business in a way that suits their life and family.
MacRae’s journey began with a move from Moss Vale to Brooklyn, and eventually to Dangar Island, where she learned resilience and adaptability living on an oyster lease.
Her early life was shaped by managing the family business, which taught her the importance of hard work, structure, and a dedicated team.
Taking on significant responsibilities after her parents’ separation, MacRae gained invaluable business skills.
These experiences laid the foundation for her leadership and entrepreneurial approach, emphasising problem-solving and resilience.
Inspired by these early lessons, MacRae founded an organisation focused on community, inclusivity, and support for marginalised individuals.
Her vision reflects her commitment to compassionate leadership and creating opportunities for all.
Today, she is dedicated to enriching lives and empowering individuals, driven by her unique background and unwavering commitment to making a positive impact.
MacRae said she was delighted to be named as a triple finalist and is proud of her achievements, particularly Opening of the Activity Hub, an NDIS registered state-of-the-art facility which serves as a haven for individuals with disabilities, offering tailored programs and activities.
“Being a mumpreneur allows me to balance my passion for making a difference with the joys of motherhood, showing my children the power of perseverance and compassion,” she said.
“It can be challenging to be a successful businesswoman while raising a family.
“Starting your own enterprise requires passion and resilience; embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and stay committed to your vision.
“Surround yourself with a supportive network and never stop learning, as continuous improvement is key to long-term success.”
The winners of the AusMumpreneur Awards will be announced at the AusMumpreneur Awards Gala Dinner on August 16 in Melbourne.
