EPISODE 180 - ASPIRE HUB: Cheryl & Chris Joseph
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we have 2 very special guests, Cheryl & Chris Joseph, the owners of a small business which started 3 years ago and has grown very fast since. The business is called ASPIRE HUB, and are based in Brisbane, but now also expanded to Perth. Minh asks both of them about their SIL business, and their housing model, given the changes of the NDIS over the last few years.
Cheryl talks about how different it is in running your own business, when compared to working for someone else, being an employee. Chris talks about the compliance within the business, to ensure the values and operation aligns with the NDIS, aswell as managing their staff and retaining good staff, to deliver the best service for participants. Aspire Hub specialises in SIL homes and ILO, not in home supports that many other care businesses to operate in. She explains the differences between the different care business models in the market place.
Minh also asks Cheryl how different it is operating in Perth on the west coast, as compared to Brisbane on the east coast. It is interesting to hear what Cheryl says about the challenge it is to work with people in Perth, who are all new to the NDIS.
The vision for Aspire Hub was born out of co-founders Chris and Cherryl’s dream to build a team with a genuine focus on empowering people to live the life they choose.
As well-recognised voices in the industry, advocating for people with disabilities and mental health conditions, both Chris and Cherryl are passionate about creating opportunities for people of all abilities.
