Correct Addressing

The address on an international Post article must be written:

• in roman characters and arabic numerals
• must be written lengthwise on the right hand side of the address side of an article

The destination country of the address should be:

• written in UPPER CASE letters by itself on the last line of the address with no punctuations of underlining

The location of the postcode is not the same in all countries. For example in some countries such as Finland and Germany, the postcode always precedes the name of the city or town. If a country uses postcodes, senders should try to ascertain the correct place for that country's postcode from the address.

Sender's address on letters

Letters may bear only one sender's address. For letters lodged for bulk mailing the senders address must be in Australia.
