# GuideNest

> GuideNest is an Australian app that gives families of neurodivergent children one calm place to coordinate clinicians, school, therapists and the NDIS.

## What GuideNest is
GuideNest is a privacy-first, Australian-hosted web app for parents and carers of neurodivergent children (autism, ADHD, sensory and learning differences). It helps families track behaviours and moments, prepare for clinician and NDIS appointments, summarise documents, and keep everyone supporting their child in sync.

## Who it's for
- Australian parents and carers of neurodivergent children (ages ~2–16).
- Families on the NDIS, privately funded, or in between.
- Allied health practitioners and clinicians who want a shared view with the families they support.

## Key facts
- Country: Australia (Australian-hosted data).
- Status: Live with a 7-day free trial — you won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then.
- Price: AUD $99/year (under $2/week) after the free trial — the founding-family price, available until 30 September 2026 and locked in for life for families who join before then. From 1 October 2026 the price is AUD $135/year. One subscription covers every child in the family.
- Apps: Live on the web today; iOS and Android apps arrive at the end of September 2026, included in the subscription.
- NDIS: Often claimable as assistive technology or capacity-building support on self-managed and plan-managed plans; not claimable on agency-managed (NDIA-managed) plans. General guidance — families should confirm with their plan manager or support coordinator; GuideNest provides a tax invoice.
- Privacy: Data is owned by the family; never sold; used only to help coordinate the child's care.
