How to forward someone else's mail australia

In Australia, you can forward someone else's mail through the Australia Post service. Here are the steps:

Forwarding Mail for Someone Else

1. Get the necessary documents: You'll need to provide identification and proof of authority to act on behalf of the person whose mail you want to forward. This can include:
   • A letter of authority from the person whose mail you want to forward, stating that you are authorized to act on their behalf.
   • A copy of their identification (e.g., driver's license, passport).
2. Fill out the application form: You can download and complete the "Application for Mail Forwarding" form (PDF) from the Australia Post website or pick one up from a post office.
3. Provide the required information: Fill out the form with the following details:
   • The person whose mail you want to forward (the "sender").
   • Your name and address (the "recipient").
   • The period of time you want to forward the mail (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, 6 months).
4. Submit the application: Take the completed form and supporting documents to a post office or mail center. The staff will verify the information and process your application.
5. Pay the fee: There is a fee for mail forwarding, which varies depending on the length of time you want to forward the mail. The current fees are:
   • 1 month: $15.50
   • 3 months: $34.50
   • 6 months: $64.50
6. Receive the forwarded mail: Once your application is approved, you'll receive the forwarded mail at your address.

Important Notes

• Mail forwarding is only available for individuals, not businesses.
• You can only forward mail for a maximum of 6 months.
• If the sender's mail is already being forwarded to another address, you'll need to contact Australia Post to arrange for the mail to be redirected to your address.
• If you're forwarding mail for someone who is no longer at the original address, you may need to provide additional documentation to verify their identity.
