This profile defines an endpoint structure that localises core concepts, including 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](http://hl7.org/fhir/profiling.html), about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs. 

### Usage Notes

**Profile specific implementation guidance:**

* When representing the environment type of an endpoint (e.g. production, staging, test), use the R5 to R4 pre-adoption extension [ExtensionEndpoint_EnvironmentType](https://hl7.org/fhir/uv/xver-r5.r4/0.1.0/StructureDefinition-ext-R5-Endpoint.environmentType.html).

**Potentially useful extensions:**

* Endpoint: [Receiving Facility](StructureDefinition-au-receivingfacility.md)
* Endpoint: [Receiving Application](StructureDefinition-au-receivingapplication.md)
* Endpoint: [Encryption Certificate PEM X509](StructureDefinition-encryption-certificate-pem-x509.md)

**Usages:**

* Examples for this Profile: [Telstra Health Secure Messaging Endpoint](Endpoint-example0.md), [Downunder Hospital FHIR API](Endpoint-example1.md), [HL7 AU Reference FHIR Server (AU Core)](Endpoint-example2.md) and [HL7 AU Terminology Server](Endpoint-example3.md)

You can also check for [usages in the FHIR IG Statistics](https://packages2.fhir.org/xig/resource/hl7.fhir.au.base|current/StructureDefinition/StructureDefinition-au-endpoint.json)
