All Access Education Group started underneath our family home.
It did not begin with a strategic growth plan, a large investment or a perfectly mapped-out vision.
It began with Liam and Rozi trying to create something meaningful.
We wanted to build an education service that treated students as individuals, supported families properly and gave good people a place to do work they cared about.
In the beginning, we did almost everything ourselves.
We answered every enquiry.
We built the schedules.
We recruited tutors.
We handled payments.
We taught students.
We prepared resources.
We cleaned the rooms.
We worried about whether enough families would enrol to cover the next round of expenses.
We celebrated every student, every booking and every small milestone because none of it felt guaranteed.
Over time, one service became several.
Tutoring expanded.
Online education grew.
All Access Events developed into parties, school programs, incursions and holiday experiences.
Townsville Education Centre began moving into allied health.
Our small team became a growing workforce of tutors, clinicians, administrators, coordinators and event facilitators.
This year, the groupâs wage bill will likely exceed $1 million.
Writing that still feels surreal.
It is a huge milestone, but it is not one we view simply as a sign of revenue or business success.
Behind that number are real people.
People with families, mortgages, rent, goals and responsibilities of their own.
People who have trusted us with their employment and chosen to contribute their skills to what we are building.
That responsibility can be terrifying.
There are times when the growth of AAEG feels faster than our brains can comfortably process.
We are recruiting, building systems, developing services, managing risk and trying to make decisions today that will still make sense several years from now.
We are learning to lead a much larger organisation than the one we originally created.
Some days we feel incredibly confident about the direction.
Other days we wonder how the business that began under our house became something requiring million-dollar staffing decisions, clinical governance, workforce planning and a major new facility.
The honest answer is that we have followed the need.
Families kept asking for more support.
Schools and organisations asked for new programs.
Students outside Townsville needed online options.
Parents wanted education and allied health services that could communicate rather than operate in isolation.
Children needed occupational therapy, speech pathology and psychology services.
The community needed more clinicians and more accessible pathways.
We have not grown simply for the sake of becoming bigger.
We have grown because there have consistently been more families asking for help than our existing team could support.
That growth will continue over the coming months.
We expect to welcome another occupational therapist, expand speech pathology and introduce psychology services.
Next year, we plan to open a brand-new multidisciplinary clinic bringing education, allied health and medical services together.
The longer-term vision is much bigger than tutoring.
We want to build a connected child and family organisation where education, health, development and community experiences strengthen one another.
A place where a family can access tutoring, occupational therapy, speech pathology, psychology and appropriate medical support without feeling as though they are managing several completely separate systems.
We are excited about that future.
We are also honest enough to admit that it scares us.
Scaling creates opportunity, but it also creates risk.
It requires better leadership, better financial management, stronger systems and a willingness to acknowledge what we do not yet know.
We are going with the flow of the growth, but we are not treating it casually.
We are trying to build responsibly, listen carefully and protect the culture and purpose that existed when we were still operating beneath our home.
We are deeply grateful to the customers, families, schools, organisations and staff who have helped turn a small local idea into what AAEG is becoming.
Where we are going is far beyond what we first imagined.
But the reason we are going there remains simple.
We want to help more people, create meaningful employment and build services that make life easier for children, students and families.
