The following attributes are commonly used in the formation of a full address: - Address line; (address line is a composite data element containing many attributes of the specific location of a full address - see the current version of the Address line metadata item for further description and a list of its components for addresses located in Australia) - Address type - Australian State/Territory identifier - Address - Country identifier - Non-Australian State/province - Postal delivery point identifier - Postcode - Australian - Postcode - international - Suburb/town/locality name. Some attributes of an address, located within Australia, also provide the elements to determine the Statistical Local Area - SLA. This enables: - comparison of the use of services by persons residing in different geographical areas, - characterisation of catchment areas and populations for facilities for planning purposes, and - documentation of provision of services to clients who reside in other States or Territories. The address is also a relevant element in the unambiguous identification of a Health Care Client and a Health Care Provider .
