Diversity and inclusion

We believe a diverse and inclusive Australia encourages better relationships within communities and the workplace alike.

  • LGBTQIA+

    We proudly welcome and support people of any sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status. Some of our achievements include PostPride, network growth and sponsorship.

  • Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD)

    As at 30 June 2025, 31.7% of our workforce are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Our workforce is made up of people from 143 nations and we're proud of our 2024-2027 Refugee Employment and Engagement Action Plan, reinforcing our commitment to inclusive employment and economic empowerment for refugees.

Safety

Our safety programs

Zero injuries, zero harm and zero tolerance for unsafe acts and workplaces. This is our benchmark. To achieve this, we have comprehensive safety policies and management plans in place to make sure everybody’s covered.

Dog safety campaign

Specialised training programs have been trialled to teach posties how to read a dog's body language and safely manage canine encounters.

As a result, our posties have changed the way they interact with dogs.

Giving at Post

We support our people to meaningfully contribute to community organisations and causes they are passionate about.

We invite our people to give in ways that suit them through a range of programs. These include:

  • Offering matched giving to eligible employees,1 where they can donate to a charity of their choice, through our Workplace Giving program.
  • Inviting our people to nominate a community organisation for a grant of up to $2,000 through the People of Post Grants.
  • Supporting blood donation and inviting our workforce and their families to join the Australia Post Lifeblood Team.
  • Encouraging our people to fundraise for one of our community partners.
