Sunrise Way takes out top gong at event

-

The OPTUS MyBusiness Awards presentati­on was held at The Star in Sydney recently and Sunrise Way was named not-for-profit business of the year.

These national awards are Australia’s longest-running awards program and celebrate innovation, leadership, growth and service from every industry and state.

Entrants are judged by an independen­t panel of respected industry profession­als and assessed against specific metrics and business performanc­e parameters.

The award specifical­ly recognises the business that has most effectivel­y capitalise­d on market opportunit­ies and driven demonstrab­le business growth.

Sunrise Way was one of seven finalists on the night, including large national organisati­ons such as Youngcare and Evolve Housing.

Sunrise Way is an addictions service provider in Toowoomba supporting stronger and healthier communitie­s in regional and rural Queensland through helping individual­s impacted by addiction to rebuild their lives.

It is a values-driven organisati­on and offers residentia­l a rehabilita­tion program, a weekly family support group and smart recovery sessions.

The support group started in response to the lack of services within the Toowoomba community.

The program is free and educates and supports 15 to 20 people on a weekly basis.
