The scope of the Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) of usual residence national best endeavours data set is records for episodes of care for patients reported against health metadata sets (including national minimum data sets and national best endeavours data sets) provided by states and territories to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

Patient address information may be collected in hospital patient administration systems and clinical record systems. Where collected, this information may be used to assign a Statistical Area Level 1 of usual residence for the patient.

National reporting arrangements

State and territory health authorities may provide information on SA1 of usual residence data on a best efforts basis as part of the related national minimum data set or national best endeavours data set data submissions to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare for national collation.
