What is mail diversion?
Mail diversion is a service that allows you to temporarily redirect your mail to a new address. This service is useful if you're moving to a new home, going on a long trip, or need to receive mail at a different location.
How does mail diversion work?
To set up mail diversion, you'll need to complete a Mail Diversion Application form, which is available at Australia Post outlets or online. You'll need to provide the following information:
- Your current address
- The new address where you want your mail to be redirected
- The date you want the diversion to start and end
- Your signature (authorizing the diversion)
Once you've completed the form, you can submit it to Australia Post. They'll then update their records to redirect your mail to the new address.
Types of mail that can be diverted
Mail diversion can be applied to the following types of mail:
- Letters
- Parcels
- Postcards
- Bills and statements
- Catalogues and promotional materials
Duration of mail diversion
Mail diversion can be set up for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 12 months. You can also set up multiple diversions for different periods.
Cost of mail diversion
The cost of mail diversion varies depending on the type of mail and the duration of the diversion. Here are some general guidelines:
- Letters and postcards: $2.50 per month (minimum 1 month)
- Parcels: $5.00 per month (minimum 1 month)
- Bills and statements: Free (but you'll need to pay for any additional services, such as redirection of large or bulky items)
Important notes
- Mail diversion only applies to mail sent to your current address. If you've already moved to a new address, you'll need to update your address with Australia Post separately.
- Mail diversion does not apply to mail that is already in transit or has already been delivered to your current address.
- You'll need to keep your mail diversion application form and any subsequent changes to your diversion details, as you may need to provide proof of identity and address.
