Help Us Deliver Like Never Before with Rider Academy – a path to getting your motorcycle license and becoming a postie!
No licence? No worries. Start your journey to becoming a Postie with full training, support and a clear path to getting your motorcycle licence. Once licensed, you will be a certified postie and even be able to ride our electric delivery vehicles, helping Australia Post push towards a more sustainable future.
We’re excited to launch our Rider Academy — a unique opportunity for passionate and motivated individuals to start their careers with Australia Post, even if you don’t yet have a motorcycle licence.
Whether you're wrapping up school, exploring a new path, or returning to work — and if you're planning to get your motorcycle licence or already have your L’s — this is your chance to kickstart a career with real growth and long-term potential.
Your home base will be Leightonfield for the first three months, with opportunities to work across different types of postie roles and some other sites until you get up to speed! Once you've successfully got your P's, we'll work with you to agree on a location that suits your lifestyle, as the roles become available.
Your New Role – Postie with a Purpose
As a Postie, you’ll be delivering on our electric delivery vehicles or motorcycles as the friendly face of our trusted service. At the heart of your community, you'll connect Australians every day and make a real impact — all while developing your skills and shaping your future.
What makes this opportunity different?
- Got your L's already? Great! Don't have your learners just yet? No worries! If you’re successful, we will guide you on how to get them before you start and will reimburse the cost as part of our Rider Academy program!
- While training, you will gain experience across other roles such as walking or electric bicycle delivery until you’re licensed.
- You’ll be matched with a Rider Mentor and a supportive team to back you every step of the way.
- Join to ride, stay to progress your career - if you have leadership ambitions, we'll support your long-term development towards them
- All applicants encouraged to apply! Be part of our balanced, diverse and inclusive team of riders.
You’ll Be:
- Starting early in the morning, sorting mail and small parcels with your teammates
- Performing daily safety checks on your vehicle
- Delivering mail and parcels on your bike/vehicle, rain or shine, to homes and businesses
- Flexible to work across multiple sites as needed
- Learning, growing, and making your mark with ongoing mentoring and leadership development
What You’ll Need:
- A passion for learning and a strong sense of commitment
- Open to completing the licensing process with our support
- Physical fitness to lift up to 16kg regularly and meet our safe weight requirements (under 100kg)
How We’ll Deliver for You:
- We invest in your growth — personally and professionally
- Inclusive, welcoming culture where you can bring your whole self to work
- Recognition and rewards through Post Perks and more
- A sense of pride and purpose every time you put on your helmet
