List Of Postal Codes In Australia

Postal codes were introduced in Australia in the early 1970s when Australia Post introduced automated sorting. They are four digits long, and written after the name of the city, suburb, or town, and the state or territory:

Format

Although the first digit of the post code indicates the state or territory, an abbreviation is also used:
