Postcodes are used in Australia for the purposes of sorting and directing mail. All postcodes in Australia consist of four numbers and are placed at the end of the address. Australian postcodes are allocated and managed by Australia Post.

Australian postcodes are routing information, and while they are often associated with a single bounded geographical area they are not always contiguous areas. They sometimes have quite complex geography, especially in areas beyond the urban fringe. Some postcodes cover large populations, while other postcodes have much smaller populations, even in urban areas. The postcodes range from as low as 0200 to 9729.
