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.

An address in Australia for use within an Australian healthcare context
An Australian address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats).
Note: address is intended to describe postal addresses for administrative purposes, not to describe absolute geographical coordinates. Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the [Location](location.html#) resource).
All FHIR elements must have a @value or children
hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())
The address shall at least have text or a line
If asserting no fixed address, the type shall be 'physical'
extension('http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/no-fixed-address').exists() implies type='physical'
If asserting no fixed address, the address text shall begin with 'NO FIXED ADDRESS'
extension('http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/no-fixed-address').exists() implies text.startsWith('NO FIXED ADDRESS')
Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url
Must have either extensions or value[x], not both
exists(f:extension)!=exists(f:*[starts-with(local-name(.), "value")])
A unique identifier associated with a location address and may be used to look up an address, validate an address, or link to other data relating to an address.
Additional content defined by implementations
May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.
The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
An identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Typically this is used for business identifiers.
CX / EI (occasionally, more often EI maps to a resource id or a URL)
II - The Identifier class is a little looser than the v3 type II because it allows URIs as well as registered OIDs or GUIDs. Also maps to Role[classCode=IDENT]
home | work | temp | old | billing - purpose of this address
Applications can assume that an address is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.
Allows an appropriate address to be chosen from a list of many.
This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary or old address etc.for a current/permanent one
Distinguishes between physical addresses (those you can visit) and mailing addresses (e.g. PO Boxes and care-of addresses). Most addresses are both.
The definition of Address states that "address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations". However, many applications track whether an address has a dual purpose of being a location that can be visited as well as being a valid delivery destination, and Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the [Location](location.html#) resource).
The type of an address (physical / postal).
Specifies the entire address as it should be displayed e.g. on a postal label. This may be provided instead of or as well as the specific parts.
Can provide both a text representation and parts. Applications updating an address SHALL ensure that when both text and parts are present, no content is included in the text that isn't found in a part.
XAD.1 + XAD.2 + XAD.3 + XAD.4 + XAD.5 + XAD.6
Street name, number, direction & P.O. Box etc.
This component contains the house number, apartment number, street name, street direction, P.O. Box number, delivery hints, and similar address information.
The order in which lines should appear in an address label
XAD.1 + XAD.2 (note: XAD.1 and XAD.2 have different meanings for a company address than for a person address)
The name of the city, town, suburb, village or other community or delivery center.
The name of the administrative area (county).
District is sometimes known as county, but in some regions 'county' is used in place of city (municipality), so county name should be conveyed in city instead.
Sub-unit of a country with limited sovereignty in a federally organized country. A code may be used if codes are in common use (e.g. US 2 letter state codes).
A postal code designating a region defined by the postal service.
Fixed value if present otherwise assumed to be Australia in this context.
ISO 3166 3 letter codes can be used in place of a human readable country name.
Allows addresses to be placed in historical context.
