Plain-English answers about where Clearline stores NDIS data, who can access it, and what we've built so far.
Production data is stored on Supabase Postgres running on AWS infrastructure in the Sydney region (ap-southeast-2). Our API runs on Fly.io in their Sydney region (syd). Same city, same regulatory jurisdiction, sub-5ms latency between the two.
Supabase takes a physical (block-level) backup of the database every 24 hours, retained for a rolling 7-day window. We monitor backup status and confirm completion before claiming a successful day.
Every connection to Clearline uses TLS 1.2 or higher. Database storage is encrypted at rest. Application secrets — API keys, database credentials, signing keys — live in platform secret management, never in source code or committed config files.
Connect — our cross-product layer — routes every data flow through the participant's nominated consent owner. Families approve who joins their participant's care team. Either side can revoke at any time. Every cross-product access is logged for the consent owner to see.
Connect isn't a metaphor — it's a real software layer. Here's what sits between the four products and routes the consent flows described above.
Trust pages that only list strengths are marketing. This is the list of things we have not done. We surface it on the same page as the rest so a buyer's IT lead can make an informed call.
Security disclosures and data-handling questions go to a single mailbox monitored by the founder. No security@ alias, no triage tier, no support runaround. Faster for everyone.
Richard Patriquin · Founder, Clearline Health Pty Ltd
Clearline is built specifically around NDIS workflows — PACE reports, Practice Standards, SIL operational compliance, support-coordinator funding justifications, family consent. We build Clearline to help providers meet their obligations under the NDIS Practice Standards and the NDIS Code of Conduct, and to give participants and families clear visibility over their own data. The Practice Standards apply to registered NDIS providers, not to software vendors — but the workflows we build are shaped around them. A dedicated NDIS compliance page is in development covering how the platform maps to specific Practice Standards and audit expectations.
