(a) The protocol for data entry of overseas addresses is 'free format' as in the example below.
(b) Generally, overseas addresses require more lines than Australian addresses. Therefore, Addressee Lines 1, 2 & 3 are used as in the example below.
(c) Where the overseas address will fit satisfactorily in the Australian address format (for example, where it only contains a street number, street name and type, town, country and foreign postcode) then those fields may be used. (refer also Section 5 ADDRESSEE DETAILS).
Example of a foreign address based on these protocols is as follows:-
