Why partner with us?

As a delivery partner with Australia Post, you’ll be well supported in a highly competitive market as we continue to be the number one provider for our customers and communities.

All you need is a competitive edge, strong leadership skills and a commitment to great service and safety. Depending on the type of partnership you have with us, you may also need a team of responsible delivery drivers and a fleet of delivery vehicles.

Throughout our partnership, we will support you through our onboarding process, set you up using our systems and help you understand our processes. We will guide you through ordering processes for uniforms, scanning equipment and our corporate branding, while you get set up to deliver to our customers and communities under a fair and reasonably assessed pricing agreement.

As a Business Partner, you may choose to engage personnel to perform the requirements of the mail service or act as a sole operator where the mail service permits. You'll be responsible for your team's conduct and performance and the supply and maintenance of delivery vehicles.

You'll also need to work with our corporate teams to ensure our workplace safety and service expectations are maintained.

There are various delivery contract services available: Parcel Delivery, Roadside Delivery and Street Mail Delivery.

  • Parcel Delivery

    Parcel Delivery services typically involve delivering parcels to residential and business customers in metropolitan and/or regional communities.

    Typically based at one of our delivery sites, you’ll be in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, where high performance is valued. You will be supported by our corporate teams to ensure workplace safety and service expectations are maintained.

    The day begins with a focus on safety and key performance indicators, before moving on to parcel sequencing activities. All articles need to be scanned with a handheld scanning device and loaded into a van, then safely delivered to customers by you and/or your team.

  • Roadside Delivery

    Roadside Delivery services typically involve routes that are in fringe metropolitan areas, regional areas with properties beyond the township and rural or remote areas.

    Your contracted service will be provided articles for delivery on the days the service is to be performed. The articles provided need to be appropriately secured and delivered the same day they are received. These could be any combination of letters, small packets, parcels, and private mail bags.

    Delivery preparation will involve sequencing articles into the delivery order, which then need to be delivered to a mailbox or receptacle, or as otherwise directed by Australia Post. Some articles may require barcode scanning and signatures on delivery.

    In some instances, a transport component may also apply to the roadside delivery service where you will need to collect and deliver articles between our facilities. This will be outlined in the terms of the service.

  • Street Mail Delivery

    Street Mail Delivery services typically involve routes in metropolitan areas and in regional townships.

    You will receive articles for delivery each day the service is to be performed. All articles must be appropriately secured and delivered the same day they are received. These could be any combination of letters, small packets, parcels, and private mail bags.
