One year from now, we want 100 NDIS families practising therapy at home with a calm voice that their therapist designed. From there, the path is clear.

The system gives every family a set of home exercises and expects them to do them between sessions. They do not. Not because they do not care. Because they have no time, no confidence, and no structure to follow.

Daily home practice is the single biggest driver of therapy outcomes for these children. The research is settled. The gap is not.
Therapoice is the tool between sessions. It does not replace therapists or clinical decisions.
No reading required. The child opens the app and a friendly voice walks them through each activity at the pace the therapist set.
The therapist builds the program. Picks the exercises. Sets the order. Records the prompts. Therapoice is their tool, not a replacement.
Goal-linked, evidence-generating, billable. Therapoice gives providers the documentation they already need to produce.
No Australian competitor
There is no product on the Australian market that does this. The closest comparables, CognitiveBotics and Floreo, are US-based. They are not built for the NDIS, and they do not have a path into it. Therapoice is the first.
Technology partner
9T5 already builds AI voice systems. The core technology stack for Therapoice exists inside 9T5's capability base. We are not learning. We are applying.

Phase 1
10 Kind Corner therapists, each with 10 families using Therapoice. 100 active families, 12 months of real engagement data. Validated, NDIS-billable, ready to scale.
Phase 2
NDIS providers are required to document home programs for goal-tracking. Therapoice becomes the infrastructure for that documentation. 1% penetration of the 170,000 NDIS children equals 1,700 families on a recurring revenue base.
Phase 3
Speech first. Then occupational therapy. Then physio. Then emotional regulation. The voice and program engine generalises across every home-program discipline in the NDIS catalogue.
Exit
Disability tech is one of the most actively acquired categories in Australian health. Products with engagement data, clinical outcomes, and NDIS integration are targets for allied health groups, health insurers, and international players entering Australia.
Therapoice is sold as B2B software to NDIS-registered clinics, not direct to government. Pricing is anchored to Australian allied health software benchmarks, while reflecting the extra value of family-facing, between-sessions engagement.
Recommended for Phase 1
$39 AUD / active family / month
Clinic pays per active family. $39 on annual commitment, or $49 month-to-month.
Best for: Speech and OT clinics with growing caseloads.
$99 AUD / therapist seat / month
Clinic pays fixed seats. $99 on annual commitment, or $129 month-to-month.
Best for: Multi-disciplinary clinics wanting predictable software spend.
Free to 5 families, then $39 each
Clinic pays for scale. After 5 families, $39 on annual commitment or $49 month-to-month. Optional parent premium: $19 annual or $24 month-to-month.
Best for: Product-led growth experiments.
Conservative base case. Model A pricing ($39/family/month). Australia only.
Year 1 (2027)
250 families · ~$117K ARR
Year 2 (2028)
700 families · ~$328K ARR
Year 3 (2029)
1,000 families · ~$468K ARR
Stretch by 2031
5,000 families · ~$2.34M ARR
1 percent of 170,000 NDIS early-intervention children equals 1,700 families. This projection stays below that level through Year 3, then scales to 5,000 families by 2031, which is just under 3 percent of the current addressable population.
Pricing is anchored to the Australian allied health software market: Splose ($25/practitioner/month), Cliniko ($49 to $349/month tiered), and Halaxy (free core plus usage fees). Therapoice prices slightly above pure practice-management tools because it is family-facing, not only admin.
There is no clean NDIS line item today for software per family. Clinics absorb tools as operating overhead. That is the base case in this model.
The federal Industry Growth Program funds commercialisation of innovative Australian products in priority sectors. Grants run from $50,000 to $5 million. Therapoice qualifies under two of the highest-priority categories.
Directly therapeutic technology for a diagnosed population. Therapoice fits cleanly.
Enabling capability built on AI voice systems. Therapoice fits cleanly.
9T5 is the applying entity. Therapoice is led by its two co-founders, Salam Khan and Liaqat Fayyaz, alongside the 9T5 engineering team. The $50,000 covers the engineering hours required to ship the MVP, co-founder and product lead time across the build, and the clinical design partnership with Kind Corner. The IGP grant range starts at $50,000. That is the Phase 1 ask.
