| Comments: | There are differences in interpretation of what constitutes a person's 'usual' address, if this is required. The ABS specifies 'Usual address' to be an address that the person has been living in or is likely to live in for at least six months. Some data collections collect information about the location of client immediately prior to provision of service. This may or may not coincide with the client's usual address. |
