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 dental, vet and medical practices, and the healthcare community.
On the judging panel were 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).
Applications were judged based on their 150-word submission answering how a Helping Hand Grant could help their practice.
“This year’s Helping Hand Grants applications have been both inspiring and humbling for the judging panel,” Credabl CEO and co-founder Stafford Hamilton said.
“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,” Hamilton added.
“We’re honoured to support these exceptional medical professionals as they bring their visions to life.”
Among the 2024 Helping Hand Grant recipients are two dental practices:

The 2024 Helping Hand Grants—valued at over $10,000—kicked off on 15 July 2024, designed to support practice growth and celebrate the incredible contributions healthcare professionals and their amazing teams make in their local communities.
