All walks, one route
It takes a lot of us to deliver for every Australian – and it's important to us that our people behind the parcels reflect the people receiving them. We come from all walks. Different backgrounds, different ages, different genders, different sexualities and different abilities, but we all believe in the same purpose.
We welcome people of all ages, genders and backgrounds – including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, LGBTQIA+ communities, and refugees. We're a Disability Confident Recruiter, committed to making our hiring process and workplace inclusive and barrier-free. We're also working hard to remove bias and build a gender-equitable experience for everyone who joins us.

One last thing
Research shows that women and people from underrepresented backgrounds are less likely to apply for roles unless they meet every requirement. If you're excited about this opportunity but don't meet every single criterion, we'd still love to hear from you. If you're passionate about supporting leaders, building strong relationships and helping Australia Post deliver for Australia, we encourage you to apply.
