| Guide for use: | The Modified Monash Model (MMM) defines whether a location is a city, rural, remote or very remote. MMM classifications are based on the Australian Statistical Geography Standard – Remoteness Areas (ASGS-RA) framework (ABS 2023.) CODE 1 Modified Monash category 1 All areas categorised ASGS-RA1. CODE 2 Modified Monash category 2 Areas categorised ASGS-RA 2 and ASGS-RA 3 that are in, or within 20km road distance, of a town with a population greater than 50,000. CODE 3 Modified Monash category 3 Areas categorised ASGS-RA 2 and ASGS-RA 3 that are not in Modified Monash category 2 and are in, or within 15km road distance, of a town with a population between 15,000 and 50,000. CODE 4 Modified Monash category 4 Areas categorised ASGS-RA 2 and ASGS-RA 3 that are not in Modified Monash category 2 or Modified Monash category 3 and are in, or within 10km road distance, of a town with a population between 5,000 and 15,000. CODE 5 Modified Monash category 5 All other areas in ASGS-RA 2 and 3. CODE 6 Modified Monash category 6 All areas categorised ASGS-RA 4 that are not on a populated island that is separated from the mainland in the ABS geography and is more than 5km offshore. Islands that have an Modified Monash category 5 classification with a population of less than 1,000 (2019 Modified Monash Model classification only).
