This profile defines a practitioner 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:

  • See Ahpra Data Guidance for detailed guidance on representing Ahpra-sourced data.
  • A tertiary qualification or professional membership (non-Ahpra-sourced data) is represented by Practitioner.qualification
    • If none of the codes from the preferred value set are suitable then at least text should be sent in Practitioner.qualification.code
  • See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.
