Steps
Register on the Australia Post Developer Portal and subscribe to the Locations API to get an API key/AUTH-KEY.
Call the Locations API's geo or postcode search operation, supplying coordinates or a postcode plus a search radius.
Use the types parameter (a comma-delimited list) to restrict results to the location categories you need — omit it and all supported types are returned by default.
Parse each result for facility type (e.g. Parcel Locker, Post Office, Parcel Collect-enabled outlet) plus address and opening hours before presenting it as a delivery option.
If offering it at checkout, review the separate Parcel Collection Widget/plugin as a pre-built alternative to hand-rolling the picker UI.
Known gotchas
'Parcel Locker' and 'Parcel Collect' are distinct service types in the Australia Post ecosystem — a location supporting one doesn't guarantee it supports the other; check the type flags per location rather than assuming.
The types filter defaults to all types selected when omitted, which can surface outlet types your checkout isn't actually set up to support (e.g. regular post office counters vs. self-service lockers).
Australia Post separates 'public' and 'partner' API tiers (e.g. a partner-only Locations Export/getAllPoints bulk operation) — some bulk/export operations require a partner-level agreement beyond standard API key signup.
