Celebrating Victoria’s multicultural businesses and community champions.
For Khara Acharya and her Reliable Community Care (RCC) co-founders, establishing a disability service is more than business – it’s about community empowerment. Their shared experiences include 18 years in refugee camps, which brings a unique perspective and helps drive a deep dedication to helping others.

RCC was recently recognised at the 2024 Victorian Multicultural Awards for Excellence, a testament to their resilience, cultural strength, and commitment to community.

Starting a small business has its challenges. For the team steering RCC, that journey has been both rewarding and demanding. Establishing a disability service in Australia meant navigating complex regulations, gaining industry knowledge and securing supportive investors. They met these challenges head-on with grit, strategic networking, and continuous learning.
