As one of the country’s largest employers, Australia Post provides direct employment for more than 34,000 Australians. While we are a large corporation, our retail and delivery operations consist of many small businesses that contribute to local economies by creating jobs, buying goods and services, and stimulating further business activity. And we further contribute to local, state and federal economies through the rates and taxes we pay.

• We provided direct employment for 34,732 people and indirect employment for tens of thousands more – our contractors, and our licensees and their employees.
• We paid $474.9 million in local, state and Commonwealth rates and taxes.
• We paid our shareholder, the Commonwealth Government, a dividend of $279.4 million.
• We contributed $2.36 billion to the Australian economy by paying for goods and services ($2.08 billion), and capital assets and business acquisitions ($283.7 million).
• We provided electronic banking facilities at 3,291 retail outlets, including 1,467 in rural and remote areas.
