Created 06/11/2025

Updated 06/11/2025

Postal Areas (POA) and Modified Monash Model (MMM) Postal Areas (POA) are ABS Mesh Block approximations of postcodes, designed for statistical comparison rather than legal boundary accuracy. The Modified Monash Model (MMM) classifies Australian locations by remoteness, from MM 1 (major cities) to MM 7 (very remote), using population size and distance to guide health workforce planning. MMM is based on ASGS-Remoteness Areas and updated after each Census.
