Before we move ahead, knowing about the Australia Post history is essential. It’s a government business enterprise that was formed in 1975. Before 1975, Postmaster-General’s Department (PMG) was the official body handling posts in Australia. In 1975, it was abolished and Australia Post came into being. It takes over all its postal functions.
As a part of the corporatization process, the existing structure and name of Australia Post were adopted in 1989. Its head office is situated in Bourke Street, Melbourne. The head office is a post office itself.
At the national level, Auspost has 4,342 post offices and covers 7,950 postal routes with the help of 10,000 posties. The organization’s professionals use motorcycle (Honda CT 110), bicycles, cars, trucks, and walking for postal deliveries.
