Core PII detection patterns for Australian Privacy Act 1988 compliance. Covers government identifiers, healthcare numbers, business identifiers, and personal contact information.
Detects Australian Business Numbers (ABNs), which are unique 11-digit identifiers issued by the Australian Business Register to entities carrying on a business in Australia. ABNs are commonly formatted as groups of 2-3-3-3 digits separated by spaces or hyphens. The ABN includes a check digit mechanism, but this pattern relies on format matching combined with corroborative evidence rather than algorithmic validation.
Detects candidate Centrelink Customer Reference Numbers consisting of 9 digits followed by a letter. The bare shape is not unique and requires a CRN/Centrelink label for enforcement.
Detects Australian Company Number patterns. This pattern is based on a Microsoft Purview built-in sensitive information type. Users already running Purview may prefer to enable the built-in SIT directly, or use this version as a starting point for customisation.
Detects Australian Medicare card numbers, which are issued to Australian citizens and permanent residents for access to subsidised healthcare under the Medicare system. The number consists of 10 digits: the first digit is between 2 and 6, followed by 8 additional digits and a single check digit. Numbers are commonly formatted as groups of 4-5-1 digits separated by spaces or hyphens.
Discovery-only compatibility coverage for Australian driver's licence number candidates across all states and territories. The stable au-motor-vehicle-permit slug is retained for catalogue, collection, workbook, and package compatibility. State and territory enforcement belongs to the eight au-*-driver-licence-number SITs. Microsoft Purview tenants can instead select the free built-in Australia Driver's License Number entity (1cbbc8f5-9216-4392-9eb5-5ac2298d1356); this compatibility pattern is not a custom clone of that built-in.
Detects NDIS Participant Number patterns. A 9-digit number starting with the prefix 43.
Identifies Australian Tax File Numbers (TFNs) — unique nine-digit identifiers issued by the Australian Taxation Office. Uses an inline mod-11 Checksum validator with AllDigitsSameFilter and TextMatchFilter to exclude known test values.
Identifies candidate Australian passport numbers using a broad one- or two-letter prefix followed by seven digits. The regex does not validate an issued passport series; Australian travel-document and issuing-nation evidence are required for enforcement.
Identifies electronic mail addresses in RFC-compatible local-part@domain.tld format. Requires valid top-level domain of 2+ characters. Uses word-boundary anchoring distinct from substring matching.
