Bulk Mail Partner program

Support for our Bulk Mail Partner program (which we introduced in 2004/05) remains strong within the mailing industry, and achievement of Bulk Mail Partner status is highly regarded. The program requires participating mail houses to observe defined quality standards, which ensure that mail produced by our Bulk Mail Partners is capable of being processed and delivered efficiently and accurately.

The number of mail houses participating in the program rose to 51 during the financial year (up from 32 last year).

Nearly all of our bulk mail customers are now using our Electronic Lodgement of Mailing Statements (eLMS), an electronic gateway that allows mailing houses to lodge mail statement information through an Internet-based application.

Print Post

The volume of publications delivered through Print Post, our publications delivery service, increased by 3.2 per cent during 2005/06 and associated revenue increased by 5.3 per cent.

Unaddressed Mail

Our Unaddressed Mail Service achieved 1.8 per cent growth in volume during the year. Taking into account the large volumes of Unaddressed Mail generated by the 2004 Federal election, underlying growth in this area is actually around 10 per cent.
