Paying for Print Post

Payment can be made either by using your Australia Post Business credit account, a postage meter, cash, debit card or credit card.

How to get started

  1. If you are using Print Post for the first time begin by completing a Print Post application form (pdf 71kb). We will send you a Print Post publication number once your application has been approved.
  2. You or your mail house needs to prepare your Print Post articles. Visit our list of Bulk Mail Partners if you'd like help in preparing your Print Post mail out.
  3. Lodge your Print Post articles. Part of this process is to complete the Print Post lodgement document (pdf 94kb) or metered lodgement document (pdf 72kb) (if paying using a postage meter) and take it together with the articles to your closest approved lodgement facility.*

If you're lodging more than 5,000 articles a Print Post supporting document must also be completed. This details the number of articles in each sort plan. Alternatively, your mail house may use the Electronic Lodgement Management System (eLMS) and arrange pick up of your articles.
