Australia Physical Addresses
Catalogue reference for the Microsoft Purview built-in Australia physical addresses named-entity SIT. Microsoft rates the built-in at medium confidence and includes it in All Physical Addresses. This YAML-only record supplies supplementary Australian address vocabulary for registry search and testing; it does not reproduce Microsoft's opaque named-entity engine and is not a custom XML clone.

- Low confidence for this supplementary TestPattern record: Australian address words alone do not prove a populated address. The Microsoft built-in uses additional named-entity resources that are unavailable to a custom XML rule and is separately documented by Microsoft at medium confidence.

Known false positives
- Road types, postcode labels, and address-field labels in forms or general prose can match without a populated address. Mitigation: Use the Microsoft built-in SIT or a structural custom detector when value-level address detection is required.
- Business premises, landmarks, and public venues are physical addresses but may not be personal information. Mitigation: Add person, resident, account, or other attribution context when the policy objective is personal residential data.
