About the opportunity

As a Postie, you’ll deliver on a modern three‑wheeled electric delivery vehicle, representing a trusted national service and playing an important role in keeping communities connected.

You won’t be doing it alone — experienced Rider Mentors provide hands‑on guidance and ongoing support, helping you build skills, confidence and capability over time.

This role suits someone who takes pride in delivering strong outcomes, values teamwork and safety, and is motivated to succeed and grow in a role that makes a real difference every day.

All walks, one route

It takes a lot of us to deliver for every Australian – and it’s important to us that our people behind the parcels reflect the people receiving them. We come from all walks. Different backgrounds, different ages, different genders, different sexualities and different abilities, but we all believe in the same purpose.

We welcome people all ages, genders and backgrounds – including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, LGBTQIA+ communities, and refugees. We’re a Disability Confident Recruiter, committed to making our hiring process and workplace inclusive and barrier-free. We’re also working hard to remove bias and build a gender-equitable experience for everyone who joins us.
