This profile defines a location structure that localises core concepts, including identifiers and 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 Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • When defining a type of mobile or remotely delivered service location:
    • Location.mode is sent as “kind”
    • One instance of Location.type is sent as “MOBL”
    • Additional types of Location.type indicate the service is tailored for delivery in these kinds of locations (e.g. “AMB”, “COMM”, “PTRES”, “SCHOOL”, or “WORK”).
  • When defining a remotely delivered service location:
    • Location.mode is sent as “kind”
    • Location.type is sent as “VI”
    • Location.physicalType is sent as “vi”
