Introduction – Australia Post PAF raw data

Callpoint Spatial is an authorised Australia Post PAF data reseller.  We license for customer’s internal business use:

• The PAF (Postal Address File), which includes the important DPID (Delivery Point Identifier) for each address.  The PAF comprises some 14 million records in total
• The companion Permission & Delivery file.  Two important columns in the P&D are the Residential and non-Residential indicators.  Some 12.5 million records have a Residential address indicator, and some 1.5 million have a non-Residential address indicator
• Some 2 million records represent PO Boxes
• GeoPAF, which includes latitude-longitude coordinates (for e.g. certain letterboxes)

PAF update options

We can supply on a quarterly or monthly basis as set by Australia’s Post update schedule.

Australia Post’s standard license terms apply.

Can we have a business and residential PAF flag linked to G-NAF?

This is a question asked by a number of customers.  To help, Callpoint Spatial can license you a dataset that links:

• The Address Detail PID, from PSMA G-NAF
• The DPID (Delivery Point Identified), from the PAF
• Residential and Non-Residential indicators, from the companion PAF Permission & Delivery data

The above is updated quarterly, after the most recent G-NAF update.

Please refer the map below for a visual representation of the join between G-NAF and the PAF.
