tag yourself, I’m a Parcel Locker (most of the time😏)

"It was cool seeing Dad drive the truck, because nowadays I only ever see him at home on the computer." Eve laughs. "It was nice spending the weekend out there with Dad, doing our bit for the team.

Dad's spent 29 years at Australia Post, starting out as a night sorter, before becoming a postie, team leader, facility manager up until his current position... he's done just about every role up the chain. That photo is from around the time he was a Delivery Manager at Western DC. We used to visit him at work as kids, so I've always had a connection to this place.

I got my first job as a Christmas Casual, loved it, stayed on as a permanent casual in another facility, then eventually moved into Parcel Lockers and now work with our Out of Home assets. It's funny, every now and then someone will say, 'I met you when you were this big!' Even though [Dad and I] don't work directly together, it's nice knowing I've always got someone to bounce ideas off.

A highlight of working at Post with Dad was getting the opportunity to work together during Peak. I'd recently got my forklift licence and was stacking empty ULDs, while Dad was out on the truck distributing them to other facilities. It was great seeing us both play different roles in keeping the network moving during one of the busiest times of the year.

It was also really cool watching Dad in his element, doing something I don't know how to do. As his daughter, I felt proud to be on the forklift, stepping into a traditionally male-dominated role and doing my part alongside him.

From an early age, Dad instilled in me that if you want to do a good job, you've got to work hard. The job he's in today is a testament to how much work he puts in.

Anytime I need advice, or I'm struggling with something, there's someone I can turn to who's calm, fair and has probably encountered every outcome you can think of. They're all qualities I'd like to have if I ever become a team leader myself. He's a good role model."

Happy Father's Day to Michael, and to all the dads and father figures across Australia Post, and beyond. 💌

Meet Luke 👋 He's one of our Posties and as part of our Connection Campaign with Beyond Blue, he's helping us deliver something pretty special, 4 million free Connection Postcards to rural and regional homes across Australia 💙

This month marks an incredible milestone: 25 million postcards delivered since 2021. With loneliness affecting 1 in 3 Australians, a few handwritten words can mean the world to someone.

🗨️ “It’s a very special feeling to read something someone’s handwritten just for you. I hope it brings more people that joy.”

Postie Matthew was on his usual run when this big fella stopped by to say hello and made his day 🐴

No, he didn't order anything. Yes, he wanted to chat about our new eDVs.

For Matthew, like many posties, 📍2517 isn't a route, it's home. His mum grew up on these streets. He went to school here. He's delivered to his own grandparents' door.

In postcodes like this, everyone knows the postie. Even the local horse. And it makes all the difference 👏

Not quite Chewie but close enough 😌 May the 4th be with you ‎‧₊˚✩ 🪐
