Juvenile Justice NMDS Community services, Standard 27/03/2007
For the purposes of the Juvenile Justice NMDS, a code consisting of a State and Territory identifier followed by a varying number of characters, depending on the State and Territory.
A State and Territory identifier should be the first character of the ID, according to the following ABS standard:
1. New South Wales
2. Victoria
3. Queensland
4. South Australia
5. Western Australia
6. Tasmania
7. Northern Territory
8. Australian Capital Territory
9. Other Territories (i.e. Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Christmas Island and Jervis Bay Territory)
Each client is to be assigned a Client ID by the juvenile justice department that will be retained by the juvenile and will remain unique to that client through time. The first character of the ID code indicates the State or Territory of the juvenile justice department responsible for the juvenile. Subsequent characters may be alphabetical or numeric and the number of characters may vary between States and Territories. However, within each State and Territory, each client should be identified by a code using a consistent format.
The identifier should be assigned by the State or Territory juvenile justice department when the juvenile first comes under the department’s control or supervision. The client should retain the same unique identifier across episodes and across time.
This data element should be recorded for each juvenile justice client on entry to each juvenile justice episode.
