Australia get your mail redirected
If you're moving to Australia or need to redirect your mail, here are the steps to follow:
Australian Post's Mail Redirection Service
Australian Post offers a mail redirection service that allows you to redirect your mail to a new address in Australia. Here's how to set it up:
- Apply online: Go to the Australian Post website (auspost.com.au) and click on "Mail Redirection" under the "Services" tab.
- Choose your options: Select the type of redirection you need (e.g., permanent, temporary, or one-off). Choose the start and end dates for your redirection.
- Enter your details: Fill in your current address and the new address where you want your mail redirected.
- Pay the fee: The cost of mail redirection varies depending on the type of redirection and the duration. You can pay online using a credit card or PayPal.
- Wait for confirmation: Once you've submitted your application, you'll receive a confirmation email with your redirection reference number.
Other Options
If you're not comfortable using Australian Post's online service or need more flexibility, you can also consider the following options:
- Contact your local post office: Visit your local post office and ask about their mail redirection service. They may be able to assist you with the application process.
- Use a third-party mail forwarding service: There are several private companies that offer mail forwarding services in Australia. These services may offer more flexibility and customization options than the Australian Post's service.
Tips and Reminders
- Make sure to apply for mail redirection well in advance of your move to ensure a smooth transition.
- Keep your redirection reference number handy, as you'll need it to track your mail and resolve any issues.
- If you're redirecting mail to a PO box, ensure that the PO box is valid and can receive mail.
- Be aware that some mail services, such as registered mail and express post, may not be eligible for redirection.
