Austpost mail diversion

AustPost Mail Diversion is a service offered by Australia Post that allows you to redirect your mail to a new address. This service is useful when you're moving to a new home, traveling, or need to receive mail at a different location temporarily.

Here are the steps to set up a mail diversion with Australia Post:

1. Check if you're eligible: You can only set up a mail diversion if you're the account holder or have the authority to act on behalf of the account holder.
2. Gather required documents: You'll need to provide identification and proof of address for both the original and new addresses.
3. Choose the duration: You can set up a mail diversion for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 12 months.
4. Fill out the application form: You can download and complete the Mail Diversion Application Form (PDF) from the Australia Post website or pick one up from a post office.
5. Submit the application: Take the completed form to a post office or mail center, along with the required documents.
6. Pay the fee: There's a fee for setting up a mail diversion, which varies depending on the duration and type of mail being diverted.

Types of mail diversion:

1. Standard Mail Diversion: Redirects standard mail, such as letters and parcels, to a new address.
2. Express Mail Diversion: Redirects express mail, such as express post and courier services, to a new address.
3. Special Mail Diversion: Redirects special mail, such as registered post and signature on delivery, to a new address.

Important notes:

• Mail diversion only applies to mail sent through Australia Post. It won't affect mail sent through other postal services or private courier companies.
• You'll need to update your address with other relevant parties, such as banks, credit card companies, and government agencies, to ensure they send mail to your new address.
• If you're setting up a mail diversion for an extended period, you may need to renew it periodically to avoid any disruptions to your mail service.
