Australia Post Change Address

When moving to a new place, ensure you organise redirection of mail for a period of time. Ordering an Address Change Kit will help eliminate the likelihood of mail going astray, but there still could be an organisation that has been overlooked. Post mail redirection gives you that added peace of mind that you’ll receive all of your mail at your new home.

The on-line Change Address Kit has a link to the Australia Post web site where you can download an application form for Mail redirect service. The posted Change of Address Kit has an application form for Postal redirection included in the kit. You can also pick up a Post change address form from your local Australia Post outlet.

For a permanent move, you can choose to have your mail redirected for a period of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months service. Temporary movers can select a date for the service to finish.

All applicants from the same household who need to have their mail redirected must have their names listed on the form. Australia Post needs three full working days (Mon-Fri) from the date you’ve lodged your application to start your Post redirection service.

There is a possible threat of Identity Fraud occurring if your mail ends up in the wrong hands. Australia Post requires proof of identity to accept your Mail redirection. The application form and the Australia Post website has information on what documents are required to prove your identity. You can not include other people on an application form if you don’t have authority to do so. If you need to redirect mail from a street address and a PO Box, you must lodge a separate application for each address.

Australia Post offers a Free Address Update Service (for permanent movers only) as part of the Mail Redirection service. This is an optional service whereby Australia Post can give your new address details to those organisations that already know your name and previous address. These organisations include industries such as Public Utilities, Financial services, Direct Marketing, Consumer goods, Retail, Charities, Professional and other services.

Australia Post charges a fee for its Mail redirection services.
