### Key Changes to AU Core Organization Profile

The following are the key changes made to the parent [AU Core Organization](https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-core/StructureDefinition-au-core-organization.html) to meet the requirements of this Implementation Guide:

* `Organization.identifier` is still optional and can only be of type [Identifier](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/datatypes.html#Identifier). Slices for HPIO, ABN, and other identifier types not applicable to departments or units are not allowed.
* `Organization.partOf` was made mandatory and **SHALL** reference an [CND Organization](StructureDefinition-cnd-organization.md)

**Usages:**

* Use this Profile: [CND Bundle](StructureDefinition-cnd-bundle.md)
* Refer to this Profile: [CND Composition](StructureDefinition-cnd-composition.md)
* Examples for this Profile: [Sunshine Memory Care Unit](Organization-ex-department-memory-care-sunshine.md)
