description: This extension applies to the Patient, RelatedPerson, and Practitioner resources and is used to represent a person's date of arrival in an Australian context (see [Australian Bureau of Statistics](https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/1200.0.55.007Main+Features12014,%20Version%201.5?OpenDocument) for further information). The date of arrival is when a person (born outside of Australia) first arrived in Australia, from another country, with the intention of living in Australia for one year or more. This date is recorded once for a person and is not subsequently updated with subsequent arrivals. This element is a part of Cultural and Linguistic Diversity (CALD) data set. It is an important indicator of cultural identity, and provides further information about a person's cultural values and practices which can be significant in determining service type, support required, and possible needs.
