About Clay
Meet Clay, the dynamic force behind Clay's Cleaning Services! In 2018, armed with determination and a spirit that couldn't be dampened, Clay founded his enterprise specialising in bin cleaning and pressure-washing services for driveways, pool decks, paths, and more.

Navigating the challenges of securing employment as a teenager with autism, Clay turned adversity into opportunity, establishing a venture that has become a source of inspiration and pride. Fast forward, and Clay now boasts an ABN, Public Liability insurance, and a devoted clientele who appreciate the excellence he brings to every job.

Business Evolution
In 2018, Clay faced the challenge of securing after-school work for almost two years without success. In a world sometimes quick to see only the challenges of disability, Clay's story is one of resilience and surpassing expectations.
​
Recognising Clay's abilities, his parents refrained from imposing limitations and, true to their faith in him, he consistently exceeded expectations. Understanding his strengths and where support was needed, they collaborated with a consultant to create the idea that would become Clay's Bin Cleaning.
​
The beginning of this venture was a heartfelt Christmas gesture: free bin cleaning for neighbours. Guided by his Dad, Clay mastered the art of bin cleaning, laying the foundation for a business that would redefine his independence.
The support from Clay's family has been monumental. They've cultivated an extraordinary community that stands united in its desire to witness Clay's entrepreneurial venture flourish and see him evolve into an even more independent individual over time.
​
This journey has been marked by the generosity of many, each playing a crucial role in Clay's success. And as we reflect on these shared experiences, we invite you to join in celebrating not only the growth of a business but the blossoming of a resilient and determined spirit—Clay's spirit.
Together, let's champion inclusivity, showcase abilities, and support the dreams of a young entrepreneur who continues to defy expectations.
