Buy stamps
Show your card at any Post Office to buy more concession stamps. You can buy up to 75 stamps per year, in booklets of 5.
A Concession account helps us to track your stamp purchases (up to a maximum of 50 concession stamps per year). This is why you'll need to show your MyPost card at a Post Office, rather than just your Federal Government concession card.
Concession stamps are sold in booklets of 5 for $3 (60c each). Your concession stamps can be used to send small and large letters within Australia.
| What are you sending? | Maximum size | How many concession stamps? |
|---|---|---|
| Small letter up to 250g | 130 x 240 x 5mm | 1 stamp (60c) |
| Large letter up to 125g | 260 x 360 x 20mm | 2 stamps ($1.20) |
| Large letter up to 250g | 260 x 360 x 20mm | 3 stamps ($1.80) |
| Large letter up to 500g | 260 x 360 x 20mm | 5 stamps ($3) |

Video: The video opens on the Australia Post logo.
Audio: Audio throughout is a backing track playing a fairly happy tune.
Video: Two letters representing each of the speeds fly out of the logo.
Audio: From the 4th January 2016, Australia Post is making some changes, giving you the choice of two speeds for sending letters with concession stamps.
We hear a 'shoopy' sound as the letters fly out of the logo.
Each speed has a sound (beep/tone) as a trigger for the audience. When the three speeds first come into frame we hear the beeps in ascending order.
Video: A turquoise square appears on screen with the word 'Priority'.
Audio: Priority
Video: A red street posting box quickly appears with a letter flying out of the posting box into a postie's backback on his bike. The postie then rides away and a letter now appears in the middle of the screen with a hand coming in and placing a Priority label next to the stamp. The price appears underneath the letter. 60c + 50c*.
An Australia Post store pops up and this animation changes into a computer. The computer turns into a calendar with the date 14 December, which then turns into 4 January.

Audio: To have your letters delivered within 1-4 business days, depending on the destination, simply apply a Priority label next to your concession stamp. Priority labels will be available to purchase at your local Post Office or at auspost.com.au/shop from 14 December 2015 for use from 4 January 2016.
A sound for the letter flying.
A sound for the motorbike.
Video: A grey square appears on screen with the word 'Regular'.
Audio: Regular
Video: The Regular letter then appears with the price 60c.
A hand appears holding the letter. The letter is then placed in a red street posting box. The letter flies out of the box into a postie's backpack on his bike.
Audio: For the regular service, just apply a concession stamp as usual. Delivery of letters with only a concession stamp will take up to 2 business days longer than the Priority service, depending on the destination.
Sound for the letter being posted.
A sound for the letter flying.
A sound for the motorbike.
Video: The postie then rides away and the Concession stamp now appears in the middle of the screen. This turns into many stamps.
Audio: The price of concession stamps will remain at $0.60 and MyPost Concession account holders can continue to purchase up to 50 concession stamps per year.
A sound plays for the purchase.
Sounds play for the laptop keys.
Page turning sounds for the calendar.
Video: An Australia Post store then pops up with a red street posting box out the front of it.
The video ends with the Australia Post logo and a button which says "Click here if you have any questions".
Audio: Both Priority and Regular letters can be posted in red street posting boxes or at any Post Office. You now have more choice over the speed at which your letters are delivered.
A sound plays when the Post Office and post box pop up.

Frequently asked questions
To access concession stamps and other benefits:
- visit your local Post Office and ask for an Australia Post Concession application form, OR
- check if you’re eligible and then download and complete the application form. Lodge the form at your local Post Office to validate your Federal Government concession card.
Concession stamps are valid indefinitely. You can continue to use them to post letters for as long as you like.
An Australia Post Concession card can give you access to MyPost services such as Parcel Lockers and Parcel Collect locations.
However, first, we’ll need to add this functionality to your account. Importantly, we need to make sure we have your mobile phone number and email address on file. You might not have provided these details when you originally applied, and we need them so we can contact you to let you know when you have a parcel waiting to be collected.
Please visit your local Post Office, taking suitable ID with you. Our staff will be happy to help make sure you can access these other services from your MyPost account.
Once your access has been sorted, we’ll send you a new card to replace your existing one.
Please allow up to 14 business days for delivery of your Australia Post Concession card from the date of registration.
If you haven’t received your card in the mail after 14 days, please complete our online form or call us on 13 13 18.
Please note: you can only purchase concession stamps by showing your Australia Post Concession card.
Please call us on 13 13 18 or complete our online form as soon as you realise your concession card is lost.
To receive a new card, you can complete an application for a replacement card in store.
