Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Australian postal addresses should include a valid postcode. Refer to the Australia Post Address Presentation Standard for rules on presentation and positioning of postcodes on mail. For a full list of Australian postcodes visit the Australia Post website: www.auspost.com.au This data element may be used in the analysis of data on a geographical basis which involves coding data containing an address with a postcode to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) areas.  The ABS provides a number of coding indexes and correspondences to undertake this conversion from postcode to ASGS areas. (See the correspondences section of ABS geography portal www.abs.gov.au/geography). A more accurate way to convert address data to ASGS geography is to use the locality to SA2 coding index, available from ABS, where the  locality, postcode and state, (which are all part of an address), used in conjunction can effectively code data to the SA2 level and above in the ASGS. Note that it is not possible to code to SA1 level using these correspondences or indexes. This data element is one of a number of items that can be used to create a primary address, as recommended by the AS 4590-2006 Interchange of client information standard. Components of the primary address are: Address site (or Primary complex) name Address number or number range Road name (name/type/suffix) Locality State/Territory Postcode (optional) Country (if applicable).

Data Element Concept: Client—injecting drug use status Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Last injected three months ago or less 2 Last injected more than three months ago but less than or equal to twelve months ago 3 Last injected more than twelve months ago 4 Never injected Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Data set specification specific attributes Alcohol and other drug treatment services NMDS 2015- Conditional obligation: This metadata item should only be collected for clients whose treatment episode is related to their own alcohol and other drug use. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: To be collected on commencement of treatment with a service. For clients whose treatment episode is related to the alcohol and other drug use of another person, this metadata item should not be collected. Comments: This metadata item has been developed for use in clinical settings. A code that refers to a three-month period to define 'current' injecting drug use is required as a clinically relevant period of time. The metadata item may also be used in population surveys that require a longer timeframe, for example to generate 12-month prevalence rates, by aggregating Codes 1 and 2. However, caution must be exercised when comparing clinical samples with population samples. This metadata item is important for identifying patterns of drug use and harms associated with injecting drug use.

Includes situations where the client, after completing this treatment, either does not commence any new treatment, commences a new treatment episode with a different main treatment or principal drug, or is referred to a different service provider for further treatment. CODE 2     Change in main treatment type A treatment episode will end if, prior to the completion of the existing treatment, there is a change in the main treatment type for alcohol and other drugs. See also Code 10. CODE 3     Change in the delivery setting A treatment episode may end if, prior to the completion of the existing treatment, there is a change in the treatment delivery setting for alcohol and other drugs. See also Code 10 and the Guide for use section in metadata item Episode of treatment for alcohol and other drugs. CODE 4     Change in the principal drug of concern A treatment episode will end if, prior to the completion of the existing treatment, there is a change in the principal drug of concern. See also Code 10. CODE 5     Transferred to another service provider This code includes situations where the service provider is no longer the most appropriate and the client is transferred/referred to another service. For example, transfers could occur for clients between non-residential and residential services or between residential services and a hospital. Excludes situations where the original treatment was completed before the client transferred to a different provider for other treatment (use Code 1). CODE 6     Ceased to participate against advice This code refers to situations where the service provider is aware of the client's intention to stop participating in treatment, and the client ceases despite advice from staff that such action is against the client's best interest. CODE 7     Ceased to participate without notice This code refers to situations where the client ceased to receive treatment without notifying the service provider of their intention to no longer participate. CODE 8     Ceased to participate involuntary (non-compliance) This code refers to situations where the client's participation has been ceased by the service provider due to non-compliance with the rules or conditions of the program.

Data Element Concept: Episode of treatment for alcohol and other drugs—drug of concern Value domain attributes Representational attributes Classification scheme: Australian Standard Classification of Drugs of Concern 2011 Representation class: Code Data type: String Format: NNNN Maximum character length: 4 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 0005 Opioid analgesics not further defined 0006 Psychostimulants not further defined Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The Australian Standard Classification of Drugs of Concern (ASCDC) provides a number of supplementary codes that have specific uses and these are detailed within the ASCDC, e.g. 0000 = inadequately described. Other supplementary codes that are not already specified in the ASCDC may be used in National Minimum Data Sets (NMDS) when required. In the Alcohol and other drug treatment service NMDS, two additional supplementary codes have been created which enable a finer level of detail to be captured: CODE 0005     Opioid analgesics not further defined This code is to be used when it is known that the client's principal drug of concern is an opioid but the specific opioid used is not known. The existing code 1000 combines opioid analgesics and non-opioid analgesics together into Analgesics nfd and the finer level of detail, although known, is lost. CODE 0006     Psychostimulants not further defined  This code is to be used when it is known that the client's principal drug of concern is a psychostimulant but not which type. The existing code 3000 combines stimulants and hallucinogens together into Stimulants and hallucinogens nfd and the finer level of detail, although known, is lost. Psychostimulants refer to the types of drugs that would normally be coded to 3100-3199, 3300-3399 and 3400-3499 categories plus 3903 and 3905. Data set specification specific attributes Alcohol and other drug treatment services NMDS 2015- Conditional obligation: This metadata item should only be collected for clients whose treatment episode is related to their own alcohol and other drug use. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Record each additional drug of concern (according to the client) relevant to the treatment episode. The other drug of concern does not need to be linked to a specific treatment type. More than one drug may be selected. There should be no duplication with the principal drug of concern. Collection methods: Any other drug of concern for the client should be recorded upon commencement of a treatment episode. For clients whose treatment episode is related to the alcohol and other drug use of another person, this metadata item should not be collected.

Principal drug of concern
Description

Episode of treatment for alcohol and other drugs—drug of concern (principal), (ASCDC 2011 extended) code NNNN Obligation: Conditional Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Principal drug of concern METeOR identifier: 467699 Registration status: Health, Standard 07/12/2011 Definition: The main drug, as stated by the client, that has led a person to seek treatment from the service, as represented by a code. Context: Required as an indicator of the client's treatment needs. Data Element Concept: Episode of treatment for alcohol and other drugs—drug of concern Value domain attributes Representational attributes Classification scheme: Australian Standard Classification of Drugs of Concern 2011 Representation class: Code Data type: String Format: NNNN Maximum character length: 4 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 0005 Opioid analgesics not further defined 0006 Psychostimulants not further defined Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The Australian Standard Classification of Drugs of Concern (ASCDC) provides a number of supplementary codes that have specific uses and these are detailed within the ASCDC, e.g. 0000 = inadequately described. Other supplementary codes that are not already specified in the ASCDC may be used in National Minimum Data Sets (NMDS) when required. In the Alcohol and other drug treatment service NMDS, two additional supplementary codes have been created which enable a finer level of detail to be captured: CODE 0005     Opioid analgesics not further defined This code is to be used when it is known that the client's principal drug of concern is an opioid but the specific opioid used is not known. The existing code 1000 combines opioid analgesics and non-opioid analgesics together into Analgesics nfd and the finer level of detail, although known, is lost. CODE 0006     Psychostimulants not further defined  This code is to be used when it is known that the client's principal drug of concern is a psychostimulant but not which type. The existing code 3000 combines stimulants and hallucinogens together into Stimulants and hallucinogens nfd and the finer level of detail, although known, is lost. Psychostimulants refer to the types of drugs that would normally be coded to 3100-3199, 3300-3399 and 3400-3499 categories plus 3903 and 3905. Data set specification specific attributes Alcohol and other drug treatment services NMDS 2015- Conditional obligation: This metadata item should only be collected for clients whose treatment episode is related to their own alcohol and other drug use. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The principal drug of concern should be the main drug of concern to the client and is the focus of the client's treatment episode. If the client has been referred into treatment and does not nominate a drug of concern, then the drug involved in the client's referral should be chosen. Collection methods: To be collected on commencement of the treatment episode. For clients whose treatment episode is related to the alcohol and other drug use of another person, this metadata item should not be collected.

CODE 2 Counselling This code refers to any method of individual or group counselling directed towards identified problems with alcohol and/or other drug use or dependency. This code excludes counselling activity that is part of a rehabilitation program as defined in Code 3. CODE 3 Rehabilitation This code refers to an intensive treatment program that integrates a range of services and therapeutic activities that may include counselling, behavioural treatment approaches, recreational activities, social and community living skills, group work and relapse prevention. Rehabilitation treatment can provide a high level of support (i.e. up to 24 hours a day) and tends towards a medium to longer-term duration. Rehabilitation activities can occur in residential or non-residential settings. Counselling that is included within an overall rehabilitation program should be coded to Code 3 for Rehabilitation, not to Code 2 as a separate treatment episode for counselling. CODE 4 Pharmacotherapy Refers to pharmacotherapies that include those used as maintenance therapies (e.g. naltrexone, buprenorphine, and methadone treatment) and those used as relapse prevention. Use Code 1 (withdrawal management) where a pharmacotherapy is used solely for withdrawal. Note collection exclusions: excludes treatment episodes for clients who are on an opioid pharmacotherapy maintenance program and are not receiving any other form of treatment. CODE 5 Support and case management only Refers to when there is no treatment provided to the client other than support and case management (e.g. treatment provided through youth alcohol and drug outreach services). This choice only applies where support and case management treatment is recorded as individual client data and the treatment activity is not included in any other category. CODE 6 Information and education only Refers to when there is no treatment provided to the client other than information and education. It is noted that, in general, service contacts would include a component of information and education. CODE 7 Assessment only Refers to when there is no treatment provided to the client other than assessment. It is noted that, in general, service contacts would include an assessment component. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Only one code to be selected. To be completed at assessment or commencement of treatment. The main treatment type is the principal activity as judged by the treatment provider that is necessary for the completion of the treatment plan for the principal drug of concern. The main treatment type for alcohol and other drugs is the principal focus of a single treatment episode. Consequently, each treatment episode will only have one main treatment type. For brief interventions, the main treatment type may apply to as few as one contact between the client and agency staff. Comments: Information about treatment provided is of fundamental importance to service delivery and planning.

Data Element Concept: Person—country of birth Value domain attributes Representational attributes Classification scheme: Standard Australian Classification of Countries 2011 Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: NNNN Maximum character length: 4 Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The Standard Australian Classification of Countries 2011 (SACC) is a four-digit, three-level hierarchical structure specifying major group, minor group and country. A country, even if it comprises other discrete political entities such as states, is treated as a single unit for all data domain purposes. Parts of a political entity are not included in different groups. Thus, Hawaii is included in Northern America (as part of the identified country United States of America), despite being geographically close to and having similar social and cultural characteristics as the units classified to Polynesia. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: Some data collections ask respondents to specify their country of birth. In others, a pre-determined set of countries is specified as part of the question, usually accompanied by an ‘other (please specify)’ category. Recommended questions are: In which country were you/was the person/was (name) born? Australia Other (please specify) Alternatively, a list of countries may be used based on, for example common Census responses. In which country were you/was the person/was (name) born? Australia England New Zealand Italy Viet Nam India Scotland Philippines Greece Germany Other (please specify) In either case coding of data should conform to the SACC.

Data Element Concept: Person—date of birth Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Date Data type: Date/Time Format: DDMMYYYY Maximum character length: 8 Data set specification specific attributes Alcohol and other drug treatment services NMDS 2015- DSS specific information: This field must not be null. National Minimum Data Sets: For the provision of state and territory hospital data to Commonwealth agencies this field must: · be less than or equal to Admission date, Date patient presents or Service contact date · be consistent with diagnoses and procedure codes, for records to be grouped. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: If date of birth is not known or cannot be obtained, provision should be made to collect or estimate age. Collected or estimated age would usually be in years for adults, and to the nearest three months (or less) for children aged less than two years. Additionally, an estimated date flag or a date accuracy indicator should be reported in conjunction with all estimated dates of birth. For data collections concerned with children's services, it is suggested that the estimated date of birth of children aged under 2 years should be reported to the nearest 3 month period, i.e. 0101, 0104, 0107, 0110 of the estimated year of birth. For example, a child who is thought to be aged 18 months in October of one year would have his/her estimated date of birth reported as 0104 of the previous year. Again, an estimated date flag or date accuracy indicator should be reported in conjunction with all estimated dates of birth. Collection methods: Information on date of birth can be collected using the one question: What is your/(the person's) date of birth? In self-reported data collections, it is recommended that the following response format is used: Date of birth: _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ This enables easy conversion to the preferred representational layout (DDMMYYYY). For record identification and/or the derivation of other metadata items that require accurate date of birth information, estimated dates of birth should be identified by a date accuracy indicator to prevent inappropriate use of date of birth data. The linking of client records from diverse sources, the sharing of patient data, and data analysis for research and planning all rely heavily on the accuracy and integrity of the collected data. In order to maintain data integrity and the greatest possible accuracy an indication of the accuracy of the date collected is critical. The collection of an indicator of the accuracy of the date may be essential in confirming or refuting the positive identification of a person. For this reason it is strongly recommended that the data element Date—accuracy indicator, code AAA also be recorded at the time of record creation to flag the accuracy of the data. Comments: Privacy issues need to be taken into account in asking persons their date of birth. Wherever possible and wherever appropriate, date of birth should be used rather than age because the actual date of birth allows a more precise calculation of age. When date of birth is an estimated or default value, national health and community services collections typically use 0101 or 0107 or 3006 as the estimate or default for DDMM. It is suggested that different rules for reporting data may apply when estimating the date of birth of children aged under 2 years because of the rapid growth and development of children within this age group which means that a child's development can vary considerably over the course of a year. Thus, more specific reporting of estimated age is suggested.

This is in accord with the first two of three components of the Commonwealth definition. Data Element Concept: Person—Indigenous status Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Aboriginal but not Torres Strait Islander origin 2 Torres Strait Islander but not Aboriginal origin 3 Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin 4 Neither Aboriginal nor Torres Strait Islander origin Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: This metadata item is based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) standard for Indigenous status. For detailed advice on its use and application please refer to the ABS Website as indicated in the Reference documents. The classification for Indigenous status has a hierarchical structure comprising two levels. There are four categories at the detailed level of the classification which are grouped into two categories at the broad level. There is one supplementary category for 'not stated' responses. The classification is as follows: Indigenous: · Aboriginal but not Torres Strait Islander origin. · Torres Strait Islander but not Aboriginal origin. · Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin. Non-Indigenous: · Neither Aboriginal nor Torres Strait Islander origin. Not stated/ inadequately described: This category is not to be available as a valid answer to the questions but is intended for use: · Primarily when importing data from other data collections that do not contain mappable data. · Where an answer was refused. · Where the question was not able to be asked prior to completion of assistance because the client was unable to communicate or a person who knows the client was not available. Only in the last two situations may the tick boxes on the questionnaire be left blank. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: The standard question for Indigenous Status is as follows: [Are you] [Is the person] [Is (name)] of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin? (For persons of both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin, mark both 'Yes' boxes.) No.................................................... Yes, Aboriginal............................... Yes, Torres Strait Islander............ This question is recommended for self-enumerated or interview-based collections. It can also be used in circumstances where a close relative, friend, or another member of the household is answering on behalf of the subject. It is strongly recommended that this question be asked directly wherever possible. When someone is not present, the person answering for them should be in a position to do so, i.e. this person must know well the person about whom the question is being asked and feel confident to provide accurate information about them. This question must always be asked regardless of data collectors' perceptions based on appearance or other factors. The Indigenous status question allows for more than one response. The procedure for coding multiple responses is as follows: If the respondent marks 'No' and either 'Aboriginal' or 'Torres Strait Islander', then the response should be coded to either Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander as indicated (i.e. disregard the 'No' response). If the respondent marks both the 'Aboriginal' and 'Torres Strait Islander' boxes, then their response should be coded to 'Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Origin'. If the respondent marks all three boxes ('No', 'Aboriginal' and 'Torres Strait Islander'), then the response should be coded to 'Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Origin' (i.e. disregard the 'No' response). This approach may be problematical in some data collections, for example when data are collected by interview or using screen based data capture systems. An additional response category Yes, both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander... may be included if this better suits the data collection practices of the agency or establishment concerned. Comments: The following definition, commonly known as 'The Commonwealth Definition', was given in a High Court judgement in the case of Commonwealth v Tasmania (1983) 46 ALR 625. 'An Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent who identifies as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and is accepted as such by the community in which he or she lives'. There are three components to the Commonwealth definition: · descent; · self-identification; and · community acceptance. In practice, it is not feasible to collect information on the community acceptance part of this definition in general purpose statistical and administrative collections and therefore standard questions on Indigenous status relate to descent and self-identification only.

Data Element Concept: Person—preferred language Value domain attributes Representational attributes Classification scheme: Australian Standard Classification of Languages 2011 Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: NN{NN} Maximum character length: 4 Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The Australian Standard Classification of Languages (ASCL) has a three-level hierarchical structure. The most detailed level of the classification consists of base units (languages) which are represented by four-digit codes. The second level of the classification comprises narrow groups of languages (the Narrow group level), identified by the first two digits. The most general level of the classification consists of broad groups of languages (the Broad group level) and is identified by the first digit. The classification includes Australian Indigenous languages and sign languages. For example, the Lithuanian language has a code of 3102. In this case 3 denotes that it is an Eastern European language, while 31 denotes that it is a Baltic language. The Pintupi Aboriginal language is coded as 8713. In this case 8 denotes that it is an Australian Indigenous language and 87 denotes that the language is a Western Desert language. Language data may be output at the Broad group level, Narrow group level or base level of the classification. If necessary, significant languages within a Narrow group can be presented separately while the remaining languages in the Narrow group are aggregated. The same principle can be adopted to highlight significant Narrow groups within a Broad group.

Data Element Concept: Person—sex Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Male 2 Female 3 Intersex or indeterminate Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Diagnosis and procedure codes should be checked against the national ICD-10-AM sex edits, unless the person is undergoing, or has undergone a sex change or has a genetic condition resulting in a conflict between sex and ICD-10-AM code. CODE 3 Intersex or indeterminate Intersex or indeterminate, refers to a person, who because of a genetic condition, was born with reproductive organs or sex chromosomes that are not exclusively male or female or whose sex has not yet been determined for whatever reason. Intersex or indeterminate, should be confirmed if reported for people aged 90 days or greater. Comments: The definition for Intersex in Guide for use is sourced from the ACT Legislation (Gay, Lesbian and Transgender) Amendment Act 2003.

Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: Operationally, sex is the distinction between male and female, as reported by a person or as determined by an interviewer. When collecting data on sex by personal interview, asking the sex of the respondent is usually unnecessary and may be inappropriate, or even offensive. It is usually a simple matter to infer the sex of the respondent through observation, or from other cues such as the relationship of the person(s) accompanying the respondent, or first name. The interviewer may ask whether persons not present at the interview are male or female. A person's sex may change during their lifetime as a result of procedures known alternatively as sex change, gender reassignment, transsexual surgery, transgender reassignment or sexual reassignment. Throughout this process, which may be over a considerable period of time, the person's sex could be recorded as either Male or Female. In data collections that use the ICD-10-AM classification, where sex change is the reason for admission, diagnoses should include the appropriate ICD-10-AM code(s) that clearly identify that the person is undergoing such a process. This code(s) would also be applicable after the person has completed such a process, if they have a procedure involving an organ(s) specific to their previous sex (e.g. where the patient has prostate or ovarian cancer). CODE 3 Intersex or indeterminate Is normally used for babies for whom sex has not been determined for whatever reason. Should not generally be used on data collection forms completed by the respondent. Should only be used if the person or respondent volunteers that the person is intersex or where it otherwise becomes clear during the collection process that the individual is neither male nor female. CODE 9 Not stated/inadequately described Is not to be used on primary collection forms. It is primarily for use in administrative collections when transferring data from data sets where the item has not been collected.
