4.2.2-ci-build - CI Build Australia flag

This page is part of the Australian Base IG (v4.2.1-preview: QA Preview) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. The current version which supersedes this version is 4.1.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Data Type Profile: Australian Address

Official URL: http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-address		Version: 4.2.2-ci-build
Standards status: Trial-use	Maturity Level: 2	Computable Name: AustralianAddress

This profile defines an address structure that localises core concepts, including identifiers and terminology, for use in an Australian context, to specifically represent an Australian (location) address. The purpose of this profile is to provide best practice guidance on Australian address representation, where some constraint on content is desirable to guarantee the quality of an Australian address.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

An international address can be represented using the core Address data type.

Potentially useful extensions:

Address.line: Unit
Address.line: House Number
Address.line: Street Name
Address.line: Street Name Type
Address.line: Street Name Base

Usage:

Use this DataType Constraint: AU Base Location, AU Base Organisation, AU Base Patient, AU Base Practitioner and AU Base Related Person
