This CapabilityStatement describes the basic rules for the AU Core Responder actor that is responsible for providing responses to queries submitted by AU Core Requesters. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by AU Core Responders are defined in this CapabilityStatement.
The table below identifies where a Profile has a Must Support reference to other profiles or resources (i.e., Target Profiles). This list is provided to clarify where additional profiles or resources may need to be supported if a responder supports a particular resource.

Note to Implementers: FHIR Capabilities
Any FHIR capability may be 'allowed' by the system unless explicitly marked as 'SHALL NOT'. A few items are marked as MAY in the Implementation Guide to highlight their potential relevance to the use case.

Return the following response classes:
(Status 400): invalid parameter
(Status 401/4xx): unauthorized request
(Status 403): insufficient scope
(Status 404): unknown resource
Support JSON source formats for all AU Core interactions.
Declare a CapabilityStatement identifying the list of profiles, operations, and search parameters supported.
