Geoscape G-NAF is the geocoded address database for Australian businesses and governments. It’s the trusted source of geocoded address data for Australia with over 50 million contributed addresses distilled into 15.4 million G-NAF addresses. It is built and maintained by Geoscape Australia using independently examined and validated government data. \r \r From 22 August 2022, Geoscape Australia is making G-NAF available in an additional simplified table format. G-NAF Core makes accessing geocoded addresses easier by utilising less technical effort.\r \r G-NAF Core will be updated on a quarterly basis along with G-NAF.\r \r Further information about contributors to G-NAF is available here.\r \r With more than 15 million Australian physical address record, G-NAF is one of the most ubiquitous and powerful spatial datasets. The records include geocodes, which are latitude and longitude map coordinates. G-NAF does not contain personal information or details relating to individuals.\r \r Updated versions of G-NAF are published on a quarterly basis. Previous versions are available here\r \r Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums.\r \r Changes in the February 2025 release\r \r * Nationally, the February 2025 update of G-NAF shows an overall increase of 47,284 addresses (0.30%). The total number of addresses in G-NAF now stands at 15,706,733 of which 14,867,032 or 94.65% are principal.\r \r * In the February 2025 release of G-NAF, over 300 addresses in Morra, Western Australia have been updated. About 150 addresses have changed locations and 160 properties now have street numbers instead of lot numbers. Some properties are still using lot-numbers, resulting in two addressees. This issue will be resolved in the May 2025 update of G-NAF.\r \r * In the February release, Geoscape has re-classified geocode types of ‘Property Access Point Setback’ (PAPS) to be ‘Property Access Point’ (PAP) in South Australia where the geocode falls within a road casement as the geocode is not set back into a land parcel. This update has changed approximately 57,000 geocodes to PAP from their previous classification of PAPS, while there are some 14,000 PAPS geocodes that remain unchanged.\r \r \r * Geoscape has moved product descriptions, guides and reports online to https://docs.geoscape.com.au.\r \r Further information on G-NAF, including FAQs on the data, is available here or through Geoscape Australia’s network of partners. They provide a range of commercial products based on G-NAF, including software solutions, consultancy and support.\r \r Additional information: On 1 October 2020, PSMA Australia Limited began trading as Geoscape Australia.\r \r

Data are sourced from a wide variety of collections, both ABS and non-ABS. When analysing these statistics, care needs to be taken as time periods, definitions, methodologies, scope and coverage can differ across collections. Where available, data have been presented as a time series - to enable users to assess changes over time.
