Our approach to Corporate Governance 

As a Government Business Enterprise, Australia Post maintains a comprehensive system of corporate governance practices designed to provide appropriate levels of governance, disclosure and accountability. 

These practices derive principally from the provisions of the Australian Postal Corporation Act 1989 and the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. We are also guided by the Commonwealth Government Business Enterprises – Governance and Oversight Guidelines and the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition), consistent with the Statement of Expectations issued by our Shareholder Ministers on 1 July 2024.
