Delivery
Australia Post and Star Track have also introduced procedures to help with social distancing and reduce physical contact.
All parcels will no longer require a signature for delivery or collection.
In all cases, whether a driver delivers to the door or a customer goes into their local Post Office to collect a parcel, an Australia Post staff member will ask and record the customer’s name and sign on their behalf.
The customer will still need to be present for this to occur, but contact will be minimised by either leaving the parcel at the door until the driver has left the premises or left for the customer to pick up on the counter.
