An employee number is an organisation’s identifier for an individual employed by that organisation.

Usage Notes

It is preferable that an organisation uses their own local system identifier namespace but if that is not available then an organisation can use their ABN or HPI-O to construct a legal globally unique identifier system for their local identifiers.

See the Australian Digital Health Agency’s R4 FAQ for guidance on constructing an ABN-scoped^[1] employee number or an HPI-O scoped^[2] employee number.
