Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:Help on this term

The three data elements in this cluster can be combined to create the classification specified in the DS NMDS guide for item 'G. Agency sector' on the service type outlet form:

Government

1  Commonwealth

2  State/territory

3  Local

Non-government

4  Income tax exempt (charity)

Where a service type outlet has a formal relationship with a higher level funded agency then the agency sector of the higher level funded agency should generally be recorded.
