The AUPD profile for Location http://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-pd/StructureDefinition-au-pd-location.html includes a reference to the managing Organization, but (as I read it) the IG doesn't specify that the Org is a searchable parameter. If I am correct in that, should it be made searchable? I would use that parameter to pull up a listing of all Locations managed by a given Org. Or is there a different / better way?

(managing) Organization is a search parameter for the Location Resource in the core R4 specification... http://hl7.org/fhir/location.html

Like Peter said core has http://hl7.org/fhir/STU3/location.html#search - the AU PD specification is not calling this out as a requirement in this profile but if needed that is how you would do it... can talk about adding this for the PD spec - basically we need to mandate requirements for all of the federating directories to ensure common capability

Thanks for all the responses. Sounds like there's consensus that this should become a mandated part of the profile as part of an upcoming build.
