AGGREGATE DATA INSTRUCTIONS


The 2013 aggregate template is designed to assist Queensland to deliver comprehensive data for the Collection. Queensland should not supply both URL and aggregate data for any given service provider but ensure they are mutually exclusive. Refer to Chapter 2, Data Element Collection Instructions for further information on aggregate data template specifications. The 2013 aggregate data request template is provided in a continuous flat-file spread sheet format incorporating the necessary disaggregations.
