This code must reflect the Australian postcode where units of study are delivered and must not be for the postal address.
The delivery location is the main location that is maintained by the provider from which the unit of study is delivered.
If the unit of study is taken externally or online, the postcode to be reported is that of the location of the Provider from where the unit of study is delivered or administered.
If the load for an individual student in a single unit is spread across more than one delivery location then the postcode to be reported is that of the location of the Provider from where the greatest amount of the unit of study is delivered or administered.
