We're aiming to double koala numbers
We're committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the transition to a more sustainable future.
We’ve partnered with World Wide Fund for Nature Australia (WWF-Australia),1 to protect and restore the homes of the koala.
Together, we aim to double koala numbers across eastern Australia by 2050.
Koalas at a critical crossroads
Koalas at a critical crossroads
While the koala is the quintessential Australian animal, it sadly is facing a crisis as an endangered species.
In 2022, the koala on Australia’s east coast were officially listed as an endangered species, after dramatic population decline. Habitat destruction, climate change and extreme weather events including bushfires and floods have had a significant impact on koalas.
WWF-Australia is working tirelessly to turn this tragedy around and Australia Post is joining them to protect and restore the homes of a great Aussie icon - the koala.

Australia Post and WWF-Australia have created a series of lesson plans to work with the Australian curriculum. Designed by educational not-for-profit organisation Cool.org, the lessons educate students about the importance of protecting koalas from the threats that are pushing them to extinction.
Say g'day to Pip the Koala!
Say g'day to Pip the Koala!
Pip encourages everyone to take small steps to deliver a better tomorrow through environmental awareness. One small koala can't change the world, but Pip knows that together, we can make a big difference.
For every Pip the Koala toy sold, we'll donate $2 to WWF-Australia to help protect and restore the homes of Australia’s koalas.3
Pip the Koala toys are available online and in-store at participating Post Offices nationwide while stock lasts.
