Australia post free mail redirection

Australia Post offers a free mail redirection service for a limited time after you move to a new address. This service allows you to redirect your mail to your new address without having to update your address with every sender.

Here are the details:

Free Mail Redirection Service:

• Available for a limited time (usually 6-12 months) after you move to a new address
• Redirects mail from your old address to your new address
• Covers mail sent by Australia Post, as well as mail sent by other postal services and couriers
• Does not cover mail sent by private companies or individuals (e.g. bills, invoices, etc.)

How to Set Up Free Mail Redirection:

1. Complete the Australia Post Mail Redirection application form (available online or at a post office)
2. Provide your old and new addresses, as well as your name and contact details
3. Pay a small fee (currently $20) for the redirection service (this fee is waived for eligible customers, such as Defence Force personnel and their families)
4. Submit the application form to Australia Post

Important Notes:

• The free mail redirection service is only available for a limited time, so make sure to set it up as soon as possible after you move
• You will need to update your address with your bank, credit card company, and other relevant institutions to ensure that your mail is redirected correctly
• The redirection service does not cover mail sent by private companies or individuals, so you may need to contact these organizations separately to update your address
• If you need to extend your mail redirection service beyond the initial period, you will need to pay a fee (currently $20 per year)

Alternative Options:

If you need to redirect your mail for a longer period or for a specific type of mail (e.g. packages), you may want to consider alternative options, such as:

• Australia Post's Mail Redirection Plus service, which offers longer-term redirection and additional features (fees apply)
• Private mail forwarding services, which can redirect mail for a longer period and offer additional services (fees apply)

It's always a good idea to check with Australia Post or a private mail forwarding service to determine the best option for your specific needs.
