Australia Post Not Working With International Postcodes

I have a shopping cart created with eCart 5 that sells goods mainly within Australia and New Zealand. All of a sudden the postcodes for New Zealand are not being recognised and I get a shipping quote failure message that says "Please enter a valid To postcode.". I have double checked the address and the postcode is correct so I don't know what the issue is. Seems to work with Australian addresses fine.

Further to the above I found the following comment in a blog post at australia-post-api-for-shopping-carts.html

ratecalc.asp is almost phased out. As part of auspost revamping, they changed the api calls also. You can download latest API from : developer-centre-api-specification-for-pac-and-pcs-1.3-20110929.pdf

Sample App : pac/

Developer URL : devcentre/

Does eCart need to be updated to make use of the new Australia Post API?
