The NLR is an initiative by the Commonwealth Government with support from industry. Designed to facilitate the aggregation and sharing of accurate and up-to-date information about locations.
Access to location data supports improved freight pick-up and delivery processes, more informed policymaking and a range of Healthcare specific applications.
The NLR is managed by GS1 Australia with support from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications and the Department of Health and is based on GS1 global data standards to support interoperability across the supply chain.
The NLR uses Global Location Numbers (GLNs) which identify physical, operational and legal locations.
