Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Update:

First of all thank you for your help.

First do

sudo apt-get update

You should get no errors upon updating. In case you do, then you might have issues with your firewall, or something blocking you from updating repositories. Check the output carefully.

And then search for the correct (exact!) package name using this command:

apt-cache search postgresql

As a last resort you could add external 3rd Party repository as described in this answer. Just remember to use your distribution name instead of "xenial".
