Strive Community

What Strive Community does

Strive Together WA Inc (operating as Strive Community) is a not-for-profit registered NDIS provider founded in 1996 in Perth, Western Australia, delivering personalised disability support services across the Perth metropolitan area. The organisation operates four core service lines: Supported Independent Living (SIL) across 11 shared homes in suburbs including Aubin Grove, Baldivis, Port Kennedy, and Darch; Farmstay Respite at the owned and operated Landsdale Farm; Individual Support providing in-home and community-based one-on-one assistance; and Social & Community Groups including weekly cooking, arts, and social connection programs. The company also offers an Independent Living Option (ILO) for lower-support participants. Approximately 93% of revenue is derived from NDIS plan funding, with the remaining ~7% from Landsdale Farm and ancillary Red Cross Café operations.

The business model is government-funded service delivery: participants access services through individually allocated NDIS plans, with Strive billing against plan hours and line items. The organisation did not disclose pricing tiers, technology platforms, or proprietary software; service delivery is labour-intensive and centres on physical assets (SIL homes, Landsdale Farm) and trained support workers. Landsdale Farm is a distinctive owned asset that anchors the farmstay respite offering and broader community engagement program. In FY2024, the organisation reported $11.70M AUD in revenue but $12.28M in total expenses, producing a small net deficit, alongside delivery of 49,272 individual support hours, 620 respite nights, and 10,852 group activity hours.

The organisation underwent significant leadership change in 2024, appointing Paul Smith as CEO and executing an executive restructuring described as ensuring long-term sustainability. The workforce is led by a CPA Australia Fellow CEO, a CMA/MBA-qualified GM Finance, and a GM Service with over a decade of disability sector experience. The organisation is governed by a board of directors and operates as an ACNC-registered charity (ABN 77 635 281 448), with no external investors, parent company, or venture capital backing. Geographic reach is limited to Perth and surrounding suburbs, with no disclosed plans for interstate or international expansion.
