Watch the leading zero
Some Australia postal codes begin with a zero, such as 0800. Spreadsheets and some web forms silently drop it, turning 0800 into 800 — which is either a different place or not a valid code at all. Format the column as text before pasting codes into a spreadsheet.
How an address is written in Australia

A postal code is required in a complete Australia address. The state is also required.
Look up a specific address
For the code covering one particular street or building, Australia's postal service publishes an official finder: www1.auspost.com.au/postcodes. It is authoritative and kept current, which third-party copies often are not.
