Rigid or inflexible items such as keys, pens, USBs or CDs should never be sent in a regular paper envelope as they could easily be damaged by our sorting equipment or torn from the envelope and lost. Items like these should always be packaged correctly and sent as a parcel. View our packaging hints and tips and domestic parcels.

The number of tracking scans will vary depending on how and where the envelope is lodged, processed and delivered. The envelope or label may receive a tracking scan: on lodgement, if lodged over the counter at any Post Office with electronic point of sale (EPOS) or self service terminal (SST); at a processing facility, if processed by automated mail processing equipment; or on delivery, where a tracking scan can be captured.

2 Registered Post comes with up to $100 compensation included. Additional charges for Extra Cover apply. Extra Cover provides you with cover for the specified value of your item (up to $5000) if your item is lost or damaged while being carried by Australia Post. Learn more about Extra Cover.

Subject to the Australian Consumer Law, Australia Post does not accept liability for any consequential or indirect loss or damage arising due to any failure related to our service. Neither the compensation included with our service nor the purchase of Extra Cover limits any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

3 Tracking notifications are only available for Registered Post where letters are lodged over the counter or at a self-service terminal, and an email address has been provided.

4 This price is per pack of 10, when you buy 5 or more packs of 10. The total price you pay will vary depending on how many packs of 10 you purchase.

5 Person-to-person article will be delivered to the addressee, except where:

  • the addressee is a minor (it will be delivered to a parent or guardian)
  • the addressee has given us prior written authority requesting delivery to a nominated person
  • it is impractical for us to deliver to the addressee (this is at Australia Post's discretion)
