| Guide for use: | This data element is used in conjunction with the Address—postal delivery number, identifier X[X(10)] data element. The recommended code description is the list of postal delivery type codes in the Australia Post Address Presentation Standards. This data element is used where mail is to be delivered to a box, bag or agent for pick-up by the intended recipient or to the rural mail box number where no other address exists. It is also used where mail is being sent to an area where normal mail delivery is unavailable, or not preferred. Additionally it may be used in some rural areas where no other formal addressing structure exists to identify delivery addresses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
