With Australia Post managing record parcel volumes – up 186% in Victoria in the third week of August - at the same time as our workforce capacity is reduced due to Stage 4 restrictions, we're doing all we can to help process and deliver the parcels that our customers want.
That's why – like we do in the lead up to Christmas each year - we have put the call out to our Melbourne office team members to help us with our record volumes if they can.
This is entirely voluntary. We will also reimburse our people for the use of their cars as per our usual mileage and expenses claim process.
So far we've had around 200 of our Melbourne office based team members express interest to lend a hand to their front line colleagues to deliver for customers during one of our busiest periods ever.
