Rapid Addressing:

• suggests generic PO Box, Locked Bag, Roadside Delivery and Road Mail Box options for each suburb. The user can manually input the number

There is no change to the way non-Australian addresses are entered. If a country other than Australia is selected as a residential address to add or amend, rapid addressing does not initiate. This is because Rapid Addressing accesses the Australia Post address files and only works for Australian addresses.
