Redirection Options
Australia Post offers different types of redirections:
- Standard Redirection: Redirects mail for a set period (up to 12 months).
- Permanent Redirection: Redirects mail indefinitely.
- Temporary Redirection: Redirects mail for a specific period (e.g., while you're on holiday).
Tips
- Make sure to update your address with other relevant parties, such as your bank, credit card company, and utility providers.
- If you're moving permanently, consider setting up a permanent redirection.
- If you're only moving temporarily, a standard or temporary redirection might be more suitable.
- Keep in mind that some mail services, like registered mail and express post, may not be eligible for redirection.
