ValidateAddressAUS

ValidateAddressAUS standardizes and validates Australian addresses using Australia Post address data. It also adds missing postal information, such as postal codes, city names, state/territory names, and more.

ValidateAddressAUS also returns result indicators about validation attempts, such as whether or not ValidateAddressAUS validated the address, and the reason for failure if the address could not be validated.

During address matching and standardization, ValidateAddressAUS separates address lines into components and compares them to the contents of a Universal Addressing Module database. If a match is found, the input address is standardized to the database information.

ValidateAddressAUS is part of the Universal Addressing Module.
