Buying Seenyor with NDIS funding

Updated 8 October 2026

If your NDIS plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can usually buy Seenyor from us and claim it, as long as it is in your plan and is reasonable and necessary for you. Here is how that works, in plain English.

Please read this first. We are not a registered NDIS provider. If your NDIS plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can usually buy from us and claim it, when the item is in your plan and is reasonable and necessary for you. We can't be paid from NDIA-managed (agency-managed) funding.

This page is general information, not funding, eligibility or clinical advice. Your planner, plan manager, support coordinator, occupational therapist, aged care provider or My Aged Care can tell you what applies to you.

Who can buy from us

It depends on how your plan is managed

Self-managed

Yes, you can usually buy from us. You pay us, then claim the cost back through the my NDIS portal or app. Keep the tax invoice and receipt, because you need to be able to show them. NDIS guidance

Plan-managed

Yes, you can usually buy from us. Ask us for a quote or tax invoice in the participant's name. Your plan manager pays it and handles the claim. NDIS guidance

NDIA-managed

Not from us, sorry. NDIA-managed (agency-managed) funding has to be spent with a registered NDIS provider, and we are not one. You can still buy privately. NDIS guidance

How the NDIS treats a purchase like Seenyor

The Seenyor device is A$770 + GST (A$847 inc GST), a one-off price per device. The NDIS groups assistive technology by cost:

NDIS tierCostWhat the NDIS asks for
Low-costUnder $1,500For a low-risk item, no quotes, evidence or assessment, and no approval before you buy. It still has to fit the NDIS rules for you.
Mid-cost$1,500 to $15,000A recommendation from an assistive technology advisor, such as an occupational therapist.
High-costOver $15,000An assessment from an assistive technology assessor, and a quote.

Sources: low-cost assistive technology and mid-cost and high-cost assistive technology.

One Seenyor device costs less than $1,500, so it sits in the NDIS low-cost range. Even for low-cost items, the NDIS says the item must be directly related to your disability, help you work towards your goals, be something its rules allow, be safe for you to use and be supported by evidence, for example a recommendation from your allied health professional. Higher-risk items need advice before you buy, and the NDIS suggests getting advice before buying assistive technology for the first time. (NDIS)

Low-cost assistive technology is usually paid from the Consumables budget in your Core supports. The NDIS asks you to tell it which types of low-cost assistive technology you might need, so it can be included in your plan. If your Consumables budget is short, the NDIS says you can choose to use your Core supports funding flexibly. (NDIS)

A recommendation does not guarantee funding, and the NDIS does not fund items that are more appropriately funded by another service, or everyday items everyone needs. (NDIS)

Buying more than one device, or adding the optional 24/7 monitoring plan? The monitoring plan is a separate monthly subscription agreed after installation. Ask your plan manager or support coordinator how each part should be claimed before you commit.

What to ask your OT or support coordinator

  • Is fall detection and wellbeing monitoring related to my disability and my plan goals?
  • Is Seenyor low-risk for me, or should I get advice from an assistive technology advisor first?
  • Which budget should it come from, and is there enough in it?
  • How many rooms really need covering? (Seenyor says most homes use one or two devices, usually the bedroom and bathroom.)
  • Would a short written recommendation help, so the reason for the purchase is on file?
  • Who will respond to an alert, day and night, and is the optional monitoring plan needed for that?

How to buy and claim, step by step

  1. Check your plan. Log in to the my NDIS portal or app, or ask your plan manager, to check you have funds available.
  2. Get advice if you need it. Talk to your OT or support coordinator, or book a demo with us to see Seenyor working.
  3. Ask us for a quote or invoice. We issue it in the participant's name.
  4. Pay or pass it on. Self-managed: pay us, then claim through the my NDIS portal or app. Plan-managed: send our invoice to your plan manager, who pays us.
  5. Delivery and setup. We deliver within Australia and arrange setup with you after you order. See delivery, returns and warranty.

NDIS quotes and invoices

Questions

NDIS funding, answered

Is Mr Purple a registered NDIS provider?

We are not a registered NDIS provider. If your NDIS plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can usually buy from us and claim it, when the item is in your plan and is reasonable and necessary for you. We can't be paid from NDIA-managed (agency-managed) funding.

Do I need an assessment or a quote to buy Seenyor with NDIS funding?

One Seenyor device costs less than $1,500, which the NDIS treats as low-cost assistive technology. For low-cost, low-risk items the NDIS says you do not need to give it quotes, evidence or an assessment, or ask for approval first. It still has to fit the NDIS rules for you, higher-risk items need advice, and the NDIS suggests getting advice before buying assistive technology for the first time.

Which part of my plan pays for it?

The NDIS says low-cost assistive technology is usually paid from the Consumables budget in your Core supports, and that you can choose to use Core supports funding flexibly if Consumables is short. Check your own plan, or ask your plan manager.

I am plan-managed. How does payment work?

Ask us for a quote or tax invoice in the participant's name. Your plan manager pays the invoice and handles the claim.

I am self-managed. How does payment work?

You pay us, then claim the cost back through the my NDIS portal or app. Keep the tax invoice and receipt.

My plan is NDIA-managed. Can I still buy Seenyor?

Not with NDIA-managed funding, because that must be spent with a registered NDIS provider and we are not one. You can still buy privately.

Can the monitoring plan be paid with NDIS funding?

That depends on your plan, so ask your plan manager or support coordinator. The optional 24/7 monitoring plan is a separate monthly subscription, agreed after installation.

Is Seenyor a medical device?

No. Seenyor describes itself as a non-medical assistive safety and wellbeing system. It is not a medical device under the Therapeutic Goods Act.
