NDIA Cover Document
The first document the planner reads. States the participant's situation, the request, the legal basis, and the consequence of refusal — in a single sitting.
A weak submission costs participants funding they should have received. Section 34 Co produces every document you need — and does it without your participant's real identity ever touching our cloud.
Support Coordinators are not document lawyers. But the NDIA treats submissions like they are. Every support request must map to one of the six criteria under Section 34(1) of the NDIS Act, and if it doesn't, participants lose funding.
Not because they don't qualify. Because the argument wasn't made.
A weak submission can leave funding on the table for the entire plan period.
Every Section 34 Co package produces nine documents mapped to every legislated criterion.
Self-serve from your desktop. Your participant's real name, DOB, and NDIS number never leave your machine.
Install the Section 34 Co desktop app on your Windows machine. It runs entirely on your device and requires no login.
The tool replaces the participant's name, DOB, and NDIS number with coded tokens before anything leaves your device. A mapping file is saved on your machine — keep it safe.
Purchase your package ($695 AUD). Your API key is emailed instantly. Enter it in the tool to submit the de-identified intake — no real names in transit.
Around 60 minutes later, your nine documents are ready to download. The local tool re-attaches the real participant details from your mapping file. Nine finalised documents, lodgement-ready.
Most software promises to protect your data. Section 34 Co is architected so that real participant data cannot reach our servers — even if someone wanted it to. Only placeholder tokens travel over the internet.
Your local mapping file is the only place name and token are connected. It stays on your device. We never hold a copy.
Real names, dates of birth, and NDIS numbers never enter our systems at any point in the process.
This is not a policy promise — it is a technical constraint built into the architecture.
Every package includes the full set — no tiers, no add-ons.

The Section 34 Co local tool runs on your Windows machine. Before submitting, it scans your intake data and replaces the participant's name, date of birth, and NDIS number with coded tokens. A mapping file — saved only on your device — records the link between the real values and the tokens. That mapping file never leaves your machine. When documents are ready, the tool reads the mapping file to re-attach real names locally.
No. Each API key covers one submission — one participant's document package. This is enforced technically: a second submission on the same key will be rejected. A separate purchase is required for each participant. This protects your clients and keeps billing straightforward.
Keys are valid for six weeks from purchase. If you need more time — complex cases, a participant who isn't ready, anything that causes a delay — just email scott@section34.com.au. Extensions are given on request, no fuss.
The local tool is a Windows application (.exe). Mac support is planned — email us if that's relevant to you and we'll let you know when it's available.
No. We prepare documents. We do not provide legal advice, represent participants, or appear at AAT hearings. The documents we produce are based on the information you supply and are structured to meet the legislative requirements of Section 34(1) of the NDIS Act 2013.
We don't guarantee outcomes — no one ethically can. We guarantee that each document meets every structural and legislative requirement for a Section 34 submission. If the NDIA rejects on grounds related to document quality, we will review at no charge.
