About Australia Post

Australia Post, officially the Australian Postal Corporation, is a government-owned enterprise and the primary postal service provider in Australia. Established in 1975 as the Australian Postal Commission, succeeding the Postmaster-General's Department, which was founded in 1901, it adopted its current structure in 1989. Headquartered in Richmond, Victoria, Australia Post operates over 4,189 outlets, employs approximately 64,000 staff, and serves more than 10 million addresses nationwide. In FY 2024, it generated A$9.13 billion in revenue, with parcels now accounting for a significant portion of its business due to the global decline in letter mail. Australia Post offers a range of services, including domestic and international parcel delivery, express courier services via StarTrack, agency services such as bill payments, and digital solutions like Digital ID. Committed to accessibility, it maintains community service obligations to deliver affordable postal services across urban and remote areas, supported by a fleet of vehicles, motorcycles, and electric-assisted bicycles.

Track365 enhances Australia Post tracking by providing a seamless, real-time tracking experience for both domestic and international shipments. As a third-party platform integrated with over 2,400 carriers, including Australia Post, USPS, EMS, UPU, and more, Track365 ensures you stay informed about your parcel’s journey.
