• International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM) used to classify diseases and other health problems
• Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI) used to classify procedures and interventions
• Australian Coding Standards (ACS) specifies coding standards that provide guidelines to assist users of the classifications in obtaining consistency in clinical coding nationally.

ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS is used in public and private hospitals in Australia to classify episodes of admitted patient care. These classifications are regularly updated to ensure they are fit for purpose and remain clinically current.
