Humanity Works

Peter discusses his ‘Profit For Purpose’ business model, the influence Mable is having on government policies surrounding aged care and disability support, and he shares his perspective on gig-economy based models of working.

Mable is having a huge impact in Australia, revolutionising aged care and disability support. The company was co-founded by Peter Scutt, who came up with the idea when he struggled to find the right home-care solution for his own aging parents.  

Peter is a strong believer in the shift from welfare to empowerment for the elderly and those living with a disability. The Mable platform allows support workers and individuals who need support to come together and negotiate a level of care and support that works for both parties.
