Collection and Usage Attributes
Usual residence is the place where a person usually lives (resides). It is not the residence where a person might stay temporarily before or after a period of hospitalisation/treatment/contact.

Person's without a permanent address that are currently living within a residential mental health care facility should have the address of that facility recorded as their usual residence.

Interstate and overseas persons:
It is particularly important to record the correct address for persons who live interstate or overseas. This is for follow up and to support funds that may be transferred between state health departments for patients who are treated outside their state of usual residence.

Baby for adoption:
The Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services or the foster carer will advise the relevant QH facility with regard to the correct address details for correspondence from QH during the transitional period. This will usually be either the foster carer or the Department.

No fixed address: Record NO FIXED ADDRESS.

At sea: Record AT SEA.
Used with other data elements to determine the Statistical Area of usual residence. 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 the provision of services to residents of states or territories other than Queensland.

Statistical Services Branch (SSB) maintains a corporate standardised data set of localities, postcodes, states and associated Statistical Area level 2 (SA2) identifiers. The content of the locality data set has two main sources, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Australia Post, with supplementary data supplied by Queensland Health.

The CRDS file can be browsed in QHEPS via INTERNAL QH LINK NOT AVAILABLE or an extract can be requested via email crds@health.qld.gov.au.
