The Executive General Manager of Australia Post has sent me an email today stating the following:
With significant measures being taken across the country to combat the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus), I want to reassure you that Australia Post remains fully operational across Australia during government restrictions on non-essential activity.
Our posties, delivery drivers and Post Offices will continue to operate.
It is likely during the evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic that some Australia Post deliveries, including delivery of Express Post articles will be delayed.
As it stands today this is not the case and we will be working as hard as we can with our delivery partners to help ensure Express Post articles are delivered as soon as possible. We will keep you updated should this change.
Australia Post operates more than 4000 Post Offices and 220 delivery facilities across the country and has a large presence in regional, rural and remote Australia, along with access to the largest dedicated freighter network in Australia.
We are committed to continuing to provide services and delivery throughout our network and as any disruptions resulting from COVID-19 (coronavirus) occur, we will keep you, our customers, updated.
To date, there are no confirmed cases in the Australian workforce of more than 80,000 people and action has been taken to protect the health and safety of our people and customers in relation to the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus), in line with Australian Government recommendations.
For the latest information on the action Australia Post is taking to protect the health and safety of its people and customers in relation to COVID-19 (coronavirus), visit important updates section on our website.
We are committed to support you during the challenging conditions facing us all and thank you in turn for your support as we work together to ensure our people and customers continue to stay safe and healthy.
