Specialist medical lender Credabl is thrilled to reveal the five recipients of the 2024 Credabl Helping Hand Grants, after receiving over 350 heartfelt applications and nominations from medical, dental and vet practices and the healthcare community.

The judging panel comprised of Dr Patrick Aouad (Consultant neurologist, multi-business founder and the CEO of CU Health), Dr Cigdem Kipel (Director and Principal Dentist of Dental Boutique Sydney and Chatswood), and Beth McGuinness (Chief People Officer of Credabl).

Stafford Hamilton, Credabl CEO and Co-founder, said, “This year’s Helping Hand Grants applications have been both inspiring and humbling for the judging panel. Each submission shared a story of remarkable resilience and dedication to community care—whether through unwavering support for their teams or ambitious plans for growth and innovation.”

“Selecting only five recipients was an incredibly challenging task; every applicant showcased passion, commitment, and a clear vision to make a meaningful impact. We’re honoured to support these exceptional medical professionals as they bring their visions to life.”

“Congratulations to all the recipients and thank you to everyone who applied or nominated a deserving practice. We’re excited to share our grant recipients’ stories with the broader community in the coming months.”
