Scope

This Standard sets out requirements for data elements for the interchange of client information. The data elements covered comprise party identification, person details, organization details, addressing, and electronic contact details, see Figure 1.1.
This Standard focuses only on the interchange of Australian client information. International client information is beyond the scope of this Standard.
This Standard does not address data interchange syntax but does recommend best practise of parsing the components of an address rather than storing as an unparsed text string.
This Standard applies to databases that require a standard definition of the format for datasets relating to the client information. Items such as person/organization details, addressing and contact details are given a data standard that can be utilized by databases.
