Decision-support for Australian OTs. Ask a question about NDIS, AHPRA, OT scope of practice, or Aged Care — get a synthesised answer with every claim linked back to the exact source paragraph.
Yes — a manual wheelchair can be funded as an NDIS Assistive Technology support where it is reasonable and necessary and meets the AT decision-making framework 1.
For AT in the mid-cost band ($1,500–$15,000), an OT recommendation is required, including trial outcomes and a clear functional justification 2.
Funding sits under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living or Capital — AT, depending on the support item code 3
A three-step pattern designed for clinical accountability. You ask in plain language, every claim comes back with a citation, and you can open the source paragraph in a single click before relying on the answer.
Type a question in plain English — funding eligibility, AHPRA scope, support hours, Aged Care standards. A clinical-question classifier runs first and politely redirects diagnosis or treatment questions back to your supervisor.
The answer streams in with a numbered badge on every factual claim. Badges aren’t optional — the system prompt requires them. No badge means the model hasn’t grounded the claim, and you’ll see that immediately.
Tap any citation badge to open the exact source paragraph in a side panel — passage highlighted, document title and page number visible. You can take the answer straight to a report, or follow the source back to its origin.
To support an SDA eligibility recommendation, the NDIA looks for evidence that the participant has an extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, and that SDA is the most cost-effective way to meet those needs over the long term 1.
An OT report should cover, at minimum:
• Functional capacity across mobility, transfers, self-care, and continence — referenced against a standardised assessment such as WHODAS or Vineland-3 2.
• Current home environment and why it cannot reasonably be modified to meet the participant’s needs 3.
• A Reasonable and Necessary framing for the SDA category recommended (Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust, or High Physical Support) 1.
SDA decisions are made under the NDIS (Specialist Disability Accommodation) Rules 2020, and recommendations sit alongside SIL where 24/7 supports are part of the picture 4
Curated regulatory and practice guidance. No open-web scraping, no Wikipedia approximations, no training-data drift. Refreshed quarterly with a sentinel watching NDIS publishing URLs for mid-cycle pricing updates.
Ask Capacoty helps you find and verify guidance against current Australian sources. It does not provide clinical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations.
A classifier runs before retrieval and politely redirects diagnostic, treatment, or legal questions back to your clinical supervisor. Every clinical decision remains the OT’s, in consultation with their clinical supervisor — the answer is a starting point, never a substitute.
No. Ask Capacoty is decision support, designed to help you find and verify guidance against current Australian sources. Every clinical decision remains the OT’s, in consultation with their clinical supervisor.
36 authoritative Australian documents across NDIS (eligibility, reports, home & living, plan management, pricing), the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission, AHPRA and OT Board regulation, OT Australia’s Code of Ethics 2025, and the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards (Aug 2025). See the full breakdown above.
Quarterly refresh schedule — 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, 1 October — plus a sentinel that watches NDIS publishing URLs for mid-cycle pricing updates and re-indexes within hours of a change.
Yes. The NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2025–26 are indexed table-aware, which means individual line-item and support-item codes are recognised. You can ask “What’s the rate for 15_056_0128_1_3?” or “Is therapy assistant level 1 a billable code under this plan?” and get the exact cell back.
Questions are stored per-account for audit purposes and not shared with third parties. The embeddings provider receives only the question text, and the generation model receives the question plus retrieved excerpts. No client identifiers are required to use Ask Capacoty.
Three things. First, curated corpus — only authoritative Australian regulatory and practice documents, no open-web scraping. Second, citations are non-optional — every factual claim is tagged to a retrieved passage, and the badge opens the exact source. Third, a clinical-question classifier blocks diagnosis and treatment questions before they reach the model, redirecting to your clinical supervisor.
On a trial, a paid plan, or anywhere in between — Ask is available to every Capacoty user. Open the app and start asking.
