The reality, with and without GuideNest

Toggle to see how GuideNest turns everyday moments into organised care.

The moment is gone by the appointmentA rough morning, a trigger, a small win — you swear you'll remember, but the other 167 hours of the week blur it until you can't find the words.

You carry the whole story aloneTeachers, therapists, doctors — they each see a slice. You're the only one holding it all, and it's exhausting.

Two kids, two plans, one tired brainSpeech notes here, paed referral there, school emails everywhere — the mental load never lets up.

The report you need is always buriedAssessments, plans and invoices lost across inboxes, drawers and group texts when you need them most.

Patterns only become obvious too lateThe sleep dip, the food refusal, the trigger — you see it in hindsight, after it's already worn your family down.

Another appointment, another retellingTen minutes summarising weeks you can only half-remember, hoping they'll understand what's really going on.

The support tool your family gets on day one — every note, insight and appointment detail in one place, ready when you need it most.

The 167 hours

Therapy is one hour a week. You hold the other 167.

The meltdown on Tuesday, the food refusal, the good week nobody saw, the thing the teacher said in the carpark — that's where the real care happens. Research shows our recall of medical information is poor: studies find as little as 14% of spoken advice is remembered correctly, and almost half of what is recalled is wrong. Expecting a parent to carry all of that is unkind — and unnecessary. We're building the infrastructure so memory isn't the infrastructure.

1 hourin the therapy room, where notes get written

167 hoursat home, at school, at 2am — where the patterns actually show up, and where nothing gets recorded

“

You re-explain everything, every time.

New provider, same story from the beginning. Reports sit in inboxes. Nobody but you sees the whole child.

“

The detail that mattered is gone.

"How has sleep been since March?" — and you're guessing. The honest answer is in a week you can't quite recall.

“

Advocating shouldn't need a perfect memory.

You know your child better than anyone in the room. You just need the record to back you up.

Inside GuideNest

Everything about your neurodivergent child, finally in one place.

GuideNest is live on the web today, with iOS and Android apps arriving end of September. Here's what your family's infrastructure looks like.

GuideNest home screen — log an event or prepare for an appointment with Nestie

Capture it in seconds

The school calls and you can't recall if that's the third meltdown this week or the fifth. Say it out loud in ten seconds and it's logged — no notebook, no 9pm forms, nothing left to memory.

GuideNest journal — dated entries tagged by category for each child

A journal that becomes evidence

Plan reviews and carer statements shouldn't mean reconstructing six months from memory. Every entry is dated, tagged and searchable, so you can show a clinician or planner exactly what changed and when — instead of hoping you're believed.

The whole child, not just the diagnosis

New teacher, new aide, new therapist — and you start the whole story again. One profile holds their diagnoses, strengths, triggers and what actually works, ready to hand over so you never explain from scratch again.

Your care team in one place

Paediatrician, speech, OT, psych, school — all working separately, with you as the unpaid coordinator. Every name, practice and number sits in one list you can reach in the middle of a hard day.

GuideNest document vault — assessments and letters stored, searchable and shareable

Every report, one vault

Assessments, letters, plans and invoices buried in email threads and the kitchen drawer, right when the NDIS asks for them. Stored by date and provider, searchable, and shareable in two taps.

GuideNest goals, sensory notes and waitlist tracking

Goals, sensory notes and waitlists

Twelve months on a waitlist and nothing to show for the wait. Track what you're working toward, how your child experiences the world, and where every assessment sits — so progress and urgency are visible, not just felt.

GuideNest child switcher — choose which child today's journals, medications and chats belong to

Built for more than one child

Each child gets their own secure space — their own journal, profile, care team and reports — so nothing gets mixed up and you can switch between your kids in a tap.

How it works

From scattered to steady — in under a week.

Newly diagnosed or years deep — the rhythm is the same. Most carers feel the lift after their first three entries.

Capture

Voice, text or quick-tap. Vent, log a meltdown, drop in the school email. Nestie turns it into structured entries.

Remember

Every report, dose, observation and pattern, held in one place. Searchable months from now — when a clinician actually asks.

Prepare

Walk into appointments with an auto-generated briefing. Spend the hour listening, not catching up.

Connect

Share the right context with the right provider in two taps. The village finally has one shared picture of your child.

Back in the driver's seat

Walk in with evidence. Walk out with a plan.

Advocacy isn't about arguing harder. It's about arriving with the record — dates, patterns, what's already been tried — so the hour you get is spent deciding, not reconstructing.

Appointment prep in minutes. A summary of what's happened since the last visit, built from your own entries.
Patterns you can point to. Sleep, behaviour, meds and school notes on one timeline instead of six.
Share only what's relevant. Send a clinician the reports and history they need — nothing more.
Nothing starts from scratch. New provider, new school year, new plan — the picture travels with your child.

NDIS claimable for many families

GuideNest is often claimable as an assistive-technology or capacity-building support under self-managed and plan-managed plans. It can't be claimed on agency-managed (NDIA-managed) plans. Check with your plan manager or support coordinator — we'll send a tax invoice you can submit.

Why we built this

Built by parents and clinicians who've lived this too.

GuideNest started in a Perth living room — a parent at the kitchen table, a notebook full of behaviours, and a folder of forms that didn't talk to each other.

We built it side-by-side with clinicians and lived-experience families — so the village your child needs finally has somewhere to live.
