Australia Post collects outgoing mail for delivery to recipients outside the University.
- Letters should be enclosed in a University pre-paid envelope that is clearly labelled with the name and address of the recipient. Mail should be placed in outgoing-mail bags prior to the daily collection time. See below for information about priority and express post services.
- Parcels should be clearly labelled with the name and address of the recipient and placed in the outgoing-mail bag prior to the daily collection time. See below for information about priority and express post services.
NB: If you are posting a particularly large or heavy item, or a large number of parcels, please contact ISD (Campus Services) the day before collection so that the delivery driver can organise a trolley.
