Attaché Software - Postcodes
Updated 2 October 2008

This postcodes file is the latest version from Australia Post and includes many codes applicable to post office boxes. It is applicable to Australian addresses only.

When imported into the software, the postcodes file provides a search function on the Suburb and Postcode fields. This handy function makes it easy to find the postcode when setting up new customers and suppliers and avoids entering an incorrect postcode.

If you have Attaché 7, version 7.01.000 (March 2008) or later, the quickest and most convenient way to download the postcode file is via the Attaché 7 menu (Setups | Company | Postcodes | Update Postcodes from the Web). Alternatively, you can download the postcodes manually by following the steps below, regardless of which version of Attaché 7 you are using.
