This identifier profile defines a Location Specific Practice Number (LSPN) in an Australian context (see[Services Australia](https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/organisations/health-professionals/services/medicare/medicare-eligibility-provide-diagnostic-imaging-and-radiation-oncology-services#a2)and[Department of Health and Aged Care](https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/stage-two-diag-img-acc-scheme-loc-spec-prac-num-fact-sheet)for further information). An LSPN is an identifier assigned to a specific location by Services Australia under the Medicare program and identifies an accredited practice site that provides diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology services.
