Australian Postal Code | Introduction to Australian Postal Codes

Australian postcodes are a postal code system in Australia, managed by Australia Post. Australian postcodes consist of four digits, the first digit represents the state or region, and the last three digits represent the specific area.

Australian Postcodes | The Origin of Australian Postcodes

Australian postal codes were introduced in 1967 to replace older regional systems such as Melbourne postal area codes. At the time, Australia was in a period of rapid economic development, with rapid expansion of population and economic activities, which led to a decline in the efficiency of postal services. The introduction of postal codes effectively solved this problem and improved the efficiency and accuracy of postal services.

The structure of Australian postal codes

Australian postal codes consist of four digits, the first digit represents the state or territory, and the next three digits represent the specific area.

• First number:
  • 1: New South Wales
  • 2. Victoria
  • 3. Queensland
  • 4. South Australia
  • 5. Western Australia
  • 6: Northern Territory
  • 7. Tasmania
  • 8: Australian Capital Territory
• The last three digits:
  • The central post office of a capital city is 000, and the numbers increase as you go outwards. The farther away from the central post office of a capital city, the larger the number.
  • For example, postcode 2000 represents the central Sydney area in New South Wales, while postcode 4000 represents the central Brisbane area in Queensland.
