Kim Grosvenor and Kaylene Janssen (pictured) are just two of the 118 women in Australia Post’s transport team – nearly 8 per cent of our 1,554 drivers nationwide. The flexibility offered by part-time positions in this area is encouraging more women to join the ranks, particularly those returning to work after having children.

Step Ahead and Springboard are two extremely successful programs that are designed to provide women in base- to supervisory-level positions with the confidence and skill to manage their careers. Our Pathways program provides a structured development framework for supervisory levels through to the senior executive level. At 30.2 per cent, the participation of women in leadership roles at Post is far above the national average*.
