Winc is committed to building strong partnerships with customers. They understand the needs of organisations within the disability sector are not only challenging, but changing. Right now, the requirement for organisations to become more cost conscious is essential.

  • General office products

Please note: Winc is now offering a wide range of PPE supplies at discounted prices to support NDS members' growing need for PPE solutions in the workplace. Due to the increased need of Rapid Antigen Test Kits (RATs), Winc is also offering RAT kits. Please note that discounts will not be applied to Rapid Antigen Test Kit prices. NDS will continue to provide updates on PPE and RAT stock availability in the coming weeks. The discounts across Winc’s range of items will be significant compared to the current Winc Office Products Catalogue price.
