A community sourced comprehensive database of Australian Post Codes with geolocation data.

Some years ago, Australia Post used to publish a full list of Australian Postal Codes including state and location data, in a raw data format, completely free.

They have since stopped doing this, instead preferring to charge for data that is arguably public domain, or at least available publicly in many different forms from many different providers.

I've needed this data for a number of projects over the years, and have collated as much publicly-available postal data as I could find. There are a bunch of files out on the internet with this data, but they are all missing data or detail, so I've tried to collate them as best I can.

You can learn more about this at http://www.matthewproctor.com/australian_postcodes

The postcode data files are stored as CSV, and available on my site in XLS, XLSX and other formats. Column definitions are shown below.

All contributions are welcome!!! You have a few options:

1. Submit a Pull Request
2. Lodge an Issue on this repo, and I'll update the file
3. Send me a message (email, twitter dm, etc.)

Please submit any pull requests that you feel are useful to add, edit or delete data from this database. Your contributions are essential to help keep this database up to date.

From time to time, friendly people help submit changes that they see from the official Australia Post database. I dont have the funds to buy this database myself, and technically it's not meant to be republished, but I'm confident this repository has the most up to date publically sourced set of postal data available.
