Very remote Outside Australia Not known Notes: Using the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGS), postcodes are assigned to Remoteness Areas based on ARIA+ scores for postcodes. ARIA+ is an index of remoteness derived from measures of road distance between populated localities and service centres. These road distance measures are then used to generate a remoteness score for any location in Australia. The ASGS divides Australia into seven Remoteness Areas and is used for collection and dissemination of geographically classified statistics. It groups locations together into comparative classes of remoteness so that data can be collected, analysed and disseminated for broad regions which are more or less remote. The NCVER will not release any information that identifies or could be used to identify individual clients.
