Testimonials:
Windgap has been great in supporting me as I navigate the NDIS. Communication is always answered. Always a positive experience.
It’s been a godsend having my Support Coordinator to navigate the minefield that is the NDIS. She is a caring & helpful person and nothing is too much trouble for her.
The Support Coordinators at Windgap are exceptional, caring and very responsive. Really appreciate the extra effort as I could not have managed the complexity during these tough times.

FAQs – What is an NDIS plan?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Australia’s support system for people with a disability. Each individual will receive a unique funding package that will assist them to meet their NDIS goals. To find more information about applying for an NDIS plan refer to the NDIS website.
What is Specialist Support Coordination?
Specialist Support Coordination may be funded when the NDIS has assessed that a participant has complex and or high support needs. Your specialist support coordination will be provided by a qualified and experienced practitioner such as an occupational therapist, psychologist or social worker.
Windgap has a team of qualified specialist support coordinators who will be able to manage challenges in your support environment in areas such as health, education and justice services.
Is Support Coordination free?
Unfortunately not. Our support coordination team can only assist people who have support coordination funding included as part of their NDIS package. This funding is included as a separate category under capacity building.
Support coordination funding is funded at an hourly rate and is allocated according to you or your loved one’s individual requirements. If you have received this funding, your support coordinator will sit down with you to work how to utilise the funding in the way that best suits you.
Didn’t receive funding for Support Coordination?
If you didn’t receive support coordination in your plan and you believe that you need it, our team can provide a letter of support for your next NDIS plan to your local area coordinator to help your voice be to heard.
