Josh started Good Company to give people with disability support that feels like working alongside a mentor, not just receiving a service. He has lived experience of disability himself, which is a big part of why our support is respectful, practical and led by the person receiving it. He leads the business as Director and co-owns it with his wife, Wanda. Today our mentors support more than 100 participants across Perth and Melbourne, and people further afield online and by phone.
His background spans care services and digital technology, and that mix shapes how Good Company works: warm, person-centred mentoring, backed by simple tools that keep the whole team up to date, so participants never rely on just one person or have to explain themselves again. His professional interests are mental health and wellbeing, productivity and building practical skills.
Josh knows what it takes to start something from scratch. He has founded several small businesses, and he is one of the coaches in our Online Expert Support & Coaching service, helping participants plan and grow businesses of their own.
His values were shaped early. After losing his dad at a young age, he learned how much small acts of support and encouragement can change someone’s path, and that belief still guides how he leads.
Outside work, Josh spends time with Wanda and their five dogs, exploring local parks, finding good coffee and relaxing with music.
Beyond Good Company
Outside Good Company, Josh and Wanda run small businesses of their own, including Kraken Digital (a web and SEO agency), SerBe (Wanda’s coaching practice) and Chuffed (an online pet food store). They know first-hand what it takes to start, run and grow a small business, and they bring that experience to every mentoring session.
