Moving house is a big change! One of the things you’ll need to update before you move is your address with Australia Post. This is something many people put off and something can cause problems down the road, especially if you miss an important bill or if a package gets delivered to your old address. 

The good news is that updating your address with Australia Post doesn’t take long and you only need a few things. Here is our simple step-by-step guide to updating your address with Australia Post. 

Step 1: Gather Your Information

• Before starting, make sure you have the following:

• Your old address

• Your new address

• Identification (e.g., driver’s licence or passport)

Step 2: Visit the Australia Post Website

• Go to the official Australia Post website at auspost.com.au.

• If you prefer to update your address in person, visit your local Australia Post office and ask for the “Change of Address” form.

Step 3: Navigate to the Address Change Section

• Look for the "Change of Address" option, typically found under the "Moving House" or "Personal" sections.

Step 4: Choose Your Method

Step 7: Review and Confirm
