Resource Profile: AU Base Coverage

This profile defines a coverage structure that localises core concepts, including terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

Usage:

• Examples for this Resource Profile: Coverage/dva and Coverage/private
