Not long ago, Spear & Arrow was just an idea on a lounge room floor in Dubbo: what if kids in the bush who were labelled too hard, too difficult, too much finally had a place where they were understood, supported, and believed in?
That idea has taken us all the way to the Stevie® Awards for Women in Business, where we are finalists across four categories:
Social Change Maker of the Year – Disability - for being bold enough to change how regional families raising children with disabilities are supported.
Female Employee of the Year – Business - for our Practice Manager, Macy Morrow, whose calm leadership and integrity hold our team together.
Women-Run Company for Social Good - for proving that women-led, First Nations-owned organisations can change the systems that families had lost faith in.
Best New Product or Service – Consumer Services - for Wiluray Gunyah, our Indigenous-led respite home that has already given families more than 1,400 hours of safe, culturally grounded care.
These wins are exciting and remind us why we do what we do - for the kids who need consistency of care and support, the mums hanging on by a thread, and the communities who refused to give up.
We're proud to be carrying the voices of Dubbo and the Central West onto a global stage. This recognition says loud and clear: regional families deserve world-class support.
