  • Suburb: This line, along with the Postcode, will auto-complete as per above
  • State/City: This line, along with the Postcode and Suburb, will auto-complete as per above.

Address Validation

A validated address is an address selected from the auto-complete function when you type in your street address or is supplied from your validated address book. A validated address is required to avoid additional charges.


Don’t see an auto-completed address?

If you do not see the auto-complete address, ensure you have checked that: 

  • The address you have is accurate (e.g., can you find it on google maps?)
  • Your address is not a Corner or range address as they are not valid street addresses.

If you are sure your address is valid, proceed to the suburb field, and auto-complete will pick it up from there.
