Anzac Day Mail

Security procedures
The Australian Government has introduced new security procedures for posting an article to an overseas country. 

Photo identification must be produced by the sender at the time of lodgement for all parcels over 500 grams.

If identification is not shown at the time of lodgement then the parcel will be retained at the Sydney Gateway Facility awaiting Civil Aviation Authority Clearance. This in turn may cause lengthy delays in the delivery of your parcel.

When lodging mail in Australia, families and friends must ensure that the parcel has been “ID verified” with an ORANGE ID VERIFICATION sticker placed on the item by the postal centre at which the item was lodged.
