Meet our 40 Under 40: One founder’s ‘simple yet powerful’ realisation
For the next two weeks, InDaily will take a closer look at some of the 2025 40 Under 40. Today, meet the winner of the Sustainable Business Leaders Award.
Jason Wisniewski co-founded disability support provider Vana Care with his friend Jesse Trout in 2021. Jason says the idea for Vana Care came after “a simple yet powerful” realisation while working with a client as a disability support worker.
“We had an amazing session, engaging in fitness and social interaction. At the end of the session, the personal trainer thanked me, mentioning that most support workers typically wait in the car instead of actively participating,” said Wisniewski.
“That moment struck me – it highlighted a gap in the industry where clients were missing out on meaningful engagement and support.”
