Surprise win for support service

No one was more surprised than Yumba Bimbi that it was crowned the 2023 Central Highlands Business of the Year.

The local support service for people with disability won the trophy at the Central Highlands Business Excellence Awards.

“To win Business of the Year is really quite unbelievable but as a leader of a team that is so deeply committed to the vision and the purpose and the values of our organisation, it’s a really wonderful feeling that their hard work is acknowledged,” CEO Rachel Freeman says.
