Key Resources
The government maintains a comprehensive set of resources to support providers who are planning on transitioning to or are already reporting via TCSI:
TCSI Data element dictionary: https://www.tcsisupport.gov.au/elements
TCSI training materials: https://www.tcsisupport.gov.au/support
Key terms and concepts
Unique Identifier (UID) - these are used to support Business to Government (B2G) reporting via the TCSI API to identify and keep track of records. A single UID replaces the combination of identifying elements that were previously used in HEIMS reporting to uniquely identify a record. The presence of a UID is required in order for a record to be updated via TCSI reporting.
