About us
As an independent NDIS provider on the Gold Coast, we design supports around the person, not the program. Each outing, activity, and interaction is approached with purpose, helping to strengthen everyday skills, self-belief, decision-making, and confidence over time.
What sets The Gentle Collective apart is that our approach is grounded not only in practice, but in research. Our founder is undertaking PhD research in meaningful participation and psychological wellbeing for people living with disability.
At The Gentle Collective, we believe that when support is thoughtful, consistent, and person-led, community participation is a developmental pathway, not just an activity.
Our mission statement
Our mission is to turn community participation into meaningful progress by designing intentional, person-led supports that build confidence, independence, and real-life capability.
Meet our founder
Jane established The Gentle Collective after identifying a critical gap between merely accessing support and receiving services that are genuinely person-centred and focused on long-term growth. Her extensive background in disability employment, NDIS policy, and human resources, combined with her PhD research, informs our evidence-based approach. She brings a profound understanding of how to build capability and skills that empower individuals far beyond supported environments, ensuring our clients receive the highest standard of care and guidance.

Our Philosophy: Person-Centred Disability Support Services
We exist to turn community participation into tangible progress. As a provider of disability support services on the Gold Coast, we design supports around the individual, meeting them where they are at, each day, not a rigid program. Each activity is approached with purpose, focusing on strengthening everyday skills, self-belief, and decision-making. This commitment to capacity building around NDIS principles ensures that every interaction is a step towards independence and self-determination. Our unique approach comes from both practice and research into meaningful participation and wellbeing for people living with disability.
Our mission is to deliver intentional, person-led supports that build lasting capability. We offer a range of services tailored to individual goals, including:
NDIS Community Participation: We facilitate engaging social participation NDIS activities designed to enhance life skills and foster connections within the community.
School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES): As a dedicated SLES provider, we assist young adults in transitioning from school to work, equipping them with the necessary skills for a successful career.
Disability Employment Services: Our disability employment services focus on building confidence and real-world skills, as well as support resume writing and interview practice.
The Gentle Collective is a distinguished independent NDIS provider dedicated to transforming community participation into meaningful, personal growth. We proudly offer our specialised NDIS support services across the Gold Coast, including Broadbeach, Ashmore, Robina, Varsity Lakes, and Burleigh Heads. Our approach is founded on creating experiences that build confidence, independence, and real-world capability, moving beyond simple attendance to foster genuine development.
