Q: Why do some suburb names appear multiple times in the list?

In Australia, it is common for the same suburb name to exist in different states (e.g., "Abbotsford" exists in NSW, VIC, and QLD). Our dataset includes all of them. You should always use the State column combined with the Postal Code to identify the correct location uniquely.

Q: What is the format of the "State" column?

The state column provides both the full name and the standard abbreviation (e.g., "NEW SOUTH WALES (NSW)"). We provide the abbreviation to ensure correct addressing: when formatting a mailing address for Australia, you should always use the state abbreviation (e.g., NSW, VIC) rather than the full state name.

Q: Does this dataset distinguish between street addresses and PO Boxes?

Yes. The dataset includes specific records for Post Office Box hubs. You can identify these by checking the additional_info column, which may contain labels like "PO Boxes" (e.g., for "ABECKETT STREET"). This helps in validating whether a postal code is for physical deliveries or mail collection only.

Q: What information is in the "additional_info" column?

This is a supplementary field providing additional information for the place where available. Please note that this field may be empty for standard residential suburbs.

Q: What is the format of an Australian postal code?

Australia uses a 4-digit numeric code (e.g., 2000, 2336). The first digit usually represents the state or territory (e.g., 2 for NSW, 3 for VIC, 4 for QLD).

Q: What file formats will I receive?

The download package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. These standard formats allow for easy import into database systems (SQL Server, MySQL) or direct use in spreadsheet software.

Q: Is this a monthly subscription?

No. This is a one-time purchase. You pay once and receive a perpetual license to use the data for your internal business needs without any recurring fees.

Q: Can I get a refund if the data is not what I expected?

Because this is a digital downloadable product, all sales are final and non-refundable. We strongly encourage you to download the Free Sample available on this page before purchasing. The sample allows you to inspect the column structure and ensure it meets your specific requirements.
