How it works

Mail Hold is a great way to keep your mail from building up in your letterbox when you’re holidaying, taking an extended break or putting work on pause for a bit.

While active, your letters and parcels will be securely stored by Australia Post. When your Mail Hold service ends, your mail will be delivered as addressed – the next business day or as soon as possible.

  • Hold eligible letters and parcels from 1 week to 12 months.
  • Add up to 6 names on your application (e.g. those you live with, your business’ other trading names, your legal name before marriage).
  • Extend your service, change or cancel at any time.
