The Country (of birth) Identifier classification uniquely identifies the country of birth of a client. For R6.0 of VET Providers and Apprentices and Trainees, the Country (of birth) Identifier is based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Standard Australian Classification of Countries (SACC) ABS Catalogue No. 1269.0, 1998 (2008 (Edition 2). The country coding index has been developed to assist in the use and implementation of the country classification. It contains a comprehensive list of the most probable responses to the question about country of birth.
