澳大利亚邮编邮编格式澳大利亚邮政编码为四位数字，第一位数字代表州，因为澳大利亚中部为无人（或少人）居住的沙漠，所以有些部分邮政编码跨越二或三州。
第一位代表地址所在的州。
后三位以州首府城市中央邮政局为000向外递增数字，离首府城市中央邮政局越远、数字越大。
因此只要看邮政编码，就能大约估量出邮政编码所在地的位置。
各邮政局有全澳邮政编码手册免费检索，电话白页上也有全澳邮政编码。

For example postcode 2620 covers both a suburb in NSW (Gundaroo) as well as a suburb in the ACT (Hume) - the postcode is within the ACT range.Jervis Bay Territory, once an exclave of the ACT but now a separate territory, is geographically located on the coast of NSW. It is just south of the towns of Vincentia and Huskisson, with which it shares a postcode. Mail to the Jervis Bay Territory is still addressed to the ACT.The numbers used to show the state on each radio callsign in Australia is the same number as the first number for postcodes in that state, e.g.2xx in New South Wales, 3xx in Victoria, etc. Radio callsigns pre-date postcodes in Australia by more than forty years.[edit] External territoriesAustralia's external territories are also included in Australia Post's postcode system. While these territories do not belong to any state, they are addressed as such for mail sorting:External territory Postal state PostcodeNorfolk Island NSW2899Christmas Island WA6798Cocos (Keeling) Islands WA6799Three scientific bases in Antarctica operated by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions share a postcode with the isolatedsub-Antarctic island of Macquarie Island (part of Tasmania):Antarctic base Postal state PostcodeCasey Station TAS7151Davis Station TAS7151Mawson Station TAS7151[edit] State and territory capital citiesEach state's capital city ends with three zeroes, while territorial capital cities end with two zeroes. Capital city postcodes were the lowest postcodes in their state or territory range, before new ranges for LVRs and PO Boxes were made available. The last number can usually be changed from "0" to "1" to get the postcode for General Post Office boxes in any capital city (though Perth now uses a different range of postcodes for its GPO Boxes):City State/Territory Street Address GPO Box AddressSydney NSW20002001Canberra ACT26002601Melbourne VIC30003001Brisbane QLD40004001Adelaide SA50005001Perth WA60006837—6848Hobart TAS70007001Darwin NT08000801[edit] Allocation within statesWhile the first number of a postcode usually shows the state or territory, the second number usually shows a region within the state. However, postcodes with the same second number are not always next to each othera. As an example, postcodes in the range 2200—0001 are split between the southern suburbs of Sydney and the Central Coast of New South Wales.Postcodes with a second number of "0" or "1" are almost always located within the metropolitan area of the state's capital city. Postcodes with higher second numbers are usually located in rural and regional areas. Common exceptions are where towns were rural when postcodes were first introduced in 1967, but have since been suburbanised and incorporated into metropolitan areas, e.g. Penrith, New South Wales has the postcode 2750 and Petrie, Queensland has the postcode 4502.Within each region with the same second number, postcodes usually get bigger the further one travels from the state's capital city along major highways and railways. For instance, heading north on the North Coast railway in New South Wales away from Sydney:Town Postcode Distance from Central StationDungog2420245 kmTaree2430378 kmKempsey2440503 kmCoffs Harbour2450607 kmGrafton2460695 kmCasino2470805 km[edit] Major towns and citiesMajor towns and cities tend to have "0" as the last number or last two numbers, e.g. Rockhampton, Queensland has the postcode 4700 and Ballarat, Victoria has the postcode 3350. There are exceptions; the major town of Ipswich, Queensland has the postcode 4305, while Goodna, a relatively unimportant suburb of Ipswich, is allocated 4300.[edit] Postcod e squaresPost Office Preferred envelopes sold in Australia have four boxes in the bottom right corner of the front of the envelope. These boxes or squares, which by Australia Post calls postcode squares, have the postcode for hand-addressed mail. This is for the purpose of Australia Post's automated mail-sorting equipment, which uses optical character recognition software. Postcode squares were introduced in 1990.[citation needed]Australia Post says that postcode squares should not be used for machine-addressed mail, or mail going overseas.[edit] Other usesMany other organisations now use postcodes. Insurance companies often use postcodes when working out the cost of car and house insurance. The NSW Ministry of Transport uses postcodes to give specific numbers for each bus stop in Greater Sydney. The stop number is five to seven numbers: the first four are the postcode, and the others show the bus stop (sometimes written with a space in between, e.g. "2000 108"). Many companies that produce metropolitan street maps also list the postcodes for each suburb, both in indexes on the maps themselves.[edit] Mechanised sortingTo improve mechanised sorting, each address now has a sorting number which is printed on the letter as an orange coloured barcode. This number might be 12 numbers long. This system enables the post office to place items in delivery order.。
