Guide for use:	Generally, the complete establishment, agency or organisation name should be used to avoid any ambiguity in identification. This should usually be the same as company registration name. However, in certain circumstances (e.g. internal use), a short name (i.e. an abbreviated name by which the organisation is known) or a locally used name (e.g. where a medical practice is known by a name that is different to the company registration name) can be used. Further, a business unit within an organisation may have its own separate identity; this should be captured (as the unit name – see Organisation name type). More than one name can be recorded for an organisation. That is, this field is a multiple occurring field. At least one organisation name must be recorded for each organisation and each name must have an appropriate Organisation name type.

Juvenile Justice NMDS 2007 Community Services (retired), Superseded 19/05/2010 DSS specific attributes + Implementation start date: 01/07/2005 DSS specific information: This data standard is implemented twice in the Juvenile Justice NMDS. It is collected for the following two items: in the episode collection: the name of the organisational unit within the juvenile justice department that is responsible for the direct supervision or case management of the juvenile justice client; in the centre collection: the name of the detention or remand centre. This information should be recorded on entry to each juvenile justice episode for the juvenile justice client. The Agency may be an area or regional office within the juvenile justice Department where the worker who is responsible for supervision of the client is located. A remand/detention centre is a secure facility run by, or on behalf of, the juvenile justice department for the purposes of detaining juvenile justice clients who are either on police arrest, remanded in custody or on a detention order. If the client is in custody in a juvenile justice remand/detention centre then the name of that remand or detention centre where the client is being held should be recorded as the agency name. If a client is involved with several agencies during a juvenile justice episode then the one with the primary role, or the one involved with the client for the longest period, should be recorded. In some jurisdictions an Indigenous community may be responsible for the actual supervision of the juvenile. In this case the community name should be recorded. Where a detention centre has two locations but is administered as one centre, the name of the centre which is responsible for administration (i.e. responsible for admissions and discharges) should be recorded.
