Guide for use - Order file
For the purposes of the Juvenile Justice NMDS, this unique identifier is retained across collection periods.
The identifier is assigned by the State or Territory juvenile justice department.
This Data Element is used in the Order file to uniquely identify each supervised order or legal arrangement.
In the Order file, the Episode identifier or Order identifier will in most cases be unique. However, where a single order specifies multiple types of supervision, for example a blended order that specifies a period in detention followed by a period of community-based supervision, the information relating to each type of supervision will comprise a separate record but the Order identifier will remain the same.
In the example below, order #10001 is a blended order that comprises a period in detention from 1/1/08 to 1/6/08 followed by a period in the community from 1/6/08 to 1/12/08. Order #10002 is an unrelated remand order.
