Around 1000 additional team members are also being recruited in Victoria to help sort parcels and mail, drive forklifts, delivery vans and trucks, and to help customers with their queries.
Australia Post General Manager Corporate Affairs Michelle Skehan said while the organisation had been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, it had still been delivering in record numbers.
“We recognise that people want their parcels to arrive as quickly as possible, especially as we head into Christmas, and that means on weekends too, and our people really are doing all they can to meet the huge demand under challenging times,” he said.
