Thanks David.

That's the interpretation that I had with regards to the conditions on the 
linked page.

But IANAL and unfortunately our in-house counsel had a different opinion...

Ben,

Doesn't it depend on exactly how you're using it?  I think it's non-commercial 
in the sense that you can't give external access to the data.  I get the 
impression if you intend to use it internally it's ok.  For example, as a 
lookup for some internal application rather than one you're trying to sell.  I 
used to work for a mail house and we used it to help validate address data.

We need an updatable source of Australian postcodes for a commercial

Australia Post have this: 
http://auspost.com.au/products-and-services/download-postcode-data.html, but it 
explicitly prohibits commercial use.

Has anyone on the list contacted Australia Post and obtained commercial terms, 
or has used another commercial postcode data source?
