Guide for use:

Where there is a need to transfer an Australian address that does not conform with the commonly used address format, the unstructured address lines may be used. These data elements should not be used except when it is impossible to use the other more structured address data elements.

Example
Cabin 44 Block 7 (Unstructured Address Line 1)
HMAS Watson (Unstructured Address Line 2)
Watsons Bay Wharf (Unstructured Address Line 3)
WATSONS BAY NSW 2030 (Unstructured Address Line 4)

Overseas addresses have many formats. To accommodate this the use of unstructured lines of detail are used. While 4 lines have been provided for overseas address details, not all lines need to be used.

Overseas addresses may follow different formats to that of Australian addresses.
Common differences are:
- Street name preceding street number
- Postcode format
- Postcode preceding locality name

Example:
32, Kasumigaseki 1 Chome (Overseas Address Line 1)
Chiyoda-ku (Overseas Address Line 2)
TOKYO 100-90 (Overseas Address Line 3)
JAPAN (Country name. Note: for client data interchange this standard uses the country code)

Origin:
Standards Australia 2006. AS 4590—2006 Interchange of client information. Sydney: Standards Australia.
