Australia Post uses highly automated sorting systems, so a clearly and correctly addressed parcel can move through the network much more smoothly and quickly. The easier it is for the address to be read—by both machines and people—the less chance there is of delays or misdirection.Make sure your parcel is clearly addressed! 📦
If available, write the mobile phone number above the name and address of the person you are sending to. This is helpful for tracking and delivery purposes.
The correct and most efficient way to address your parcel is to include:
✔️ Phone number at the top if available
✔️ Recipient’s full name ( the person you are sending to)
✔️ Unit/Apartment number (A missing unit number can mean your parcel has a little mystery to solve before it finds its way to the right door! 😄)
✔️ Street number and street name
✔️ Suburb/town and state
✔️ Correct postcode in the bottom corner

A return address, just in case there is a problem with delivery.

A clearly addressed parcel is one less likely to take a detour! 📮📦

Packaging and labelling can affect how quickly your parcel is proce...

Happy 70th Birthday, Janet🎉 What a wonderful way to celebrate such a special milestone! While our "newspaper article" featuring Australia Post CEO Paul Graham is a little bit of AI-generated fun, the sentiment behind it is absolutely genuine.
Janet has spent many years sharing her kindness, warmth, generosity and beautiful smile with customers and colleagues alike. She has touched the lives of so many people, and today we celebrated not only her 70th birthday but the incredible person she is.
No, Paul didn't actually pop into North Cairns Post Office for the celebrations... but we reckon if he knew Janet, he'd understand exactly why she deserves to be written up in the paper. Happy 70th Birthday, Janet. We hope you enjoyed your day and wish you all the best everyday. 🥳🎂🎈❤️
