Guide for Use

Service providers may operate preschool programs at a number of geographical localities, with the management and operational responsibilities for those preschools being run out of the same administration office. In this situation, each preschool program is required to have an individual address line recorded, to allow identification of the geographical location where the preschool program is being delivered.

For operational purposes, mobile preschools should be recorded with the address line of the town or suburb out of which they operate. For mobile preschools, this may be different to the actual locations of service delivery.

Counting rules:
  • Record the address line where the preschool program is delivered, by collecting comprehensive address details which allow identification of the geographical location. As a minimum, street number, street name and street type are requested to allow for accurate geo-coding.
  • If no address line exists to identify the location of the service provider, which may occur in remote areas, provide detailed information regarding the locality where the preschool program is being delivered. For example:
    • On Outback Station, 120km from Bushland via East Highway (80km) and access road (30km)
    • On the western shore of Sunshine Island, 150km south of Summerville.
