Protecting our Posties: Simple steps to prevent dog attacks

Every day, 10 Posties in Australia encounter dog attacks, but we each have the power to help protect their safety.

Hear from Postie, Diah:

“I was delivering on my bike when a dog attacked me… biting my leg, pulling me off the bike, and leaving me on the ground. It was very scary.”

Diah's return to her delivery route involved surgery, a skin graft, and tremendous resilience, but the experience stays with her.

As the peak period approaches, we can all help spread awareness about dog safety by amplifying these tips:

  • Secure dogs indoors or in the backyard during deliveries
  • Use a Parcel Locker for safe, contact-free delivery
  • Keep dogs on a leash and away from the front door
  • Let’s ensure our Posties feel safe and supported while delivering for us. Together, we can make a difference.
