Scope:	This cluster of data elements provides information on the administrative arrangements and scope of operations of a specialist disability service reporting to the Disability Services NMDS.

Collection and usage attributes
Guide for use:	If a funded agency provides, for example, both accommodation support and respite services, it is counted as two service outlets. Similarly, if an agency is funded to provide more than one accommodation support service type (for example, group homes and attendant care) then it is providing (and is usually separately funded for) two different service types, that is, there are two service outlets for the funded agency.

The Service type outlet identifier must include information to identify both the service type outlet and its funded agency—thus it is unique within the jurisdiction, and incorporates the Funded agency identifier. The funding department allocates a unique Service type outlet identifier to each separate service type outlet. Service type outlets deliver a particular NDA service type at or from a discrete location. A unique identification system for service type outlets enables information to be provided about each different service type outlet under the NDA. Identifying each service type outlet also enables information to be presented about the number of service users accessing each service type. This information can then be used for future service planning at the state/territory level.	Optional	1
-	Service type outlet—service activity type, NDA service type code N.NN	Optional	1
