Australian Postcodes
Introduced in 1967, Australian postcodes are 4-digit numbers. The first digit broadly identifies the state or territory. Each postcode can cover multiple suburbs, especially in rural areas.

NZ postcodes are also 4-digit numbers. The first digit indicates the broad region. Unlike AU, NZ postcodes are more granular in urban areas, with suburbs often sharing a postcode.
