ABS short name: EPR_CD
ABS Template reference (Child URL): Column AD
ABS Template reference (Worker): Column H
METeOR Technical name: Service provider organisation - geographic location (CD), code (ASGC 2006) NNNNNNN
METeOR identifier: 455515
METeOR link: <http://meteor.aihw.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/455515>
METeOR definition: The geographical location of an agency using a seven-digit numerical code which indicates the Collection District (CD) within the state or territory of Australia.

Scope

Inclusions: ASGC 2006 CD code indicating the geographical location at which the preschool program is delivered, for all early childhood education and care services that deliver a preschool program.
Exclusions:

• The CD code associated with a post office box address.

• The CD code associated with the head administration office, if this is not the location where the preschool program is delivered.

• The CD code associated with the parent school, if this is not the location where the preschool program is delivered.

• Early childhood education and care services that do not deliver a preschool program.

• Address line (Service provider)

• Suburb/town/locality name (Service provider)

• Australian Postcode (Service provider)

• The ASGC has now been replaced with the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). For 2013, the ABS requests that both ASGC (CD) and ASGS (MB/SA1) codes be provided in jurisdictional data sets, and that they are clearly distinguished.

• The CD was the smallest geographic area defined in the ASGC. CDs served as the basic building block in the ASGC and were used for the aggregation of statistics to larger ASGC areas, and some non-ASGC areas, such as Commonwealth and State electoral divisions. CDs are represented by a seven digit code and are derived from the data elements outlined above in the supporting data elements list. CDs have now been replaced by Statistical Area level 1 (SA1), within the new geographic standard, the ASGS.
