The goal of AU Patient Summary is to specify how to represent in HL7 FHIR an Australian Patient Summary, designed for supporting use case scenarios including planned and unplanned care, continuity of care and transition of care, and easy to implement, supporting patient summary use case specialisation for clinical workflows without requiring redevelopment.
The overarching principle adopted for the project is to be compliant with IPS and AU Core while supporting desired use cases, taking into consideration common clinical workflows in Australia.
If it's a specification error please search the issues list in GitHub to ensure the error was not already reported. If the error hasn't been reported you can use create a new issue.
AU Patient Summary R1 is in currently in development.

If you have a question, feature request, or proposed change, the best place to start is Zulip e.g. the https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179166-implementers stream. If what you want to discuss is specific to Australia you can post in the Australia stream https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179173-australia in the AU Patient Summary topic.
To identify future work or raise discussion points, you can post in the Australia stream https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179173-australia or raise specification feedback through a Jira issue tracker.
Once the issue is logged, you should discuss with the team on chat.fhir.org in the australia > AU Patient Summary topic before attempting to make changes yourself. It's important to coordinate with the other people working on the project.
When everyone has agreed on a course of action, IG changes should be submitted as a pull request for review in this repository.
