Introduction
    Postal services in Australia have rapidly evolved over the course of past two decades. In fact, with the rise of digital services advanced at a brand new level, the postal services have been no longer deemed important and contribution based factors in managing social and economic needs and expectations of common people. However, the charm of postal service among common people remains unchanged and the statements about reckoning conventional postal services as ‘weak’ are futile to make. Australia Post is the chief carrier service of postal needs of people in this context. The company has been a part of Australian postal services for more than 200 years now; the first postmaster was appointed in 1809 and official postal services across all Australian colonies began taking shape in 1828. Since that time till now, a vast network of carrier services has been built within the post offices and postal delivery services across nation. Australia Post has successfully worked over various delivery services at national level and possibly, it is one of the largest networks in the world in terms of managing the supplication of postal services for people.
    Additionally, the background of the company is evident in showing the efficacy of the postal services that it has managed so far. There are more than 30 thousand employees in Australia who work in various departments of the company such as completing the records for receiving the postal accounts, managing the dispatching options as well as ensuring the timely delivery. In the context of all postal services, the core strength of any organization remains centered around the logistics management; the efficiency of postal service provider is seen through the degree of timely delivery of the postal objects and it depends greatly over the type of logistics network that the company has built in order to manage the carrier of postal delivery across nation. Australia Post has worked remarkably in this context because more than two million postal services were satisfied in the last Christmas festival which is seen as the peak time for postal deliveries. At the same time, Australia Post has successfully sustained around 2.6 billion postal delivery addresses as a part of its core system which is quite challenging to manage on logistics level.
    Moreover, in order to manage the logistics of the organization, the various collection and dispatching points have been structured as a part of supply chain network. There are more than 11 million collection points built across nation to conduct smooth postal delivery process and it makes Australia Post as the organization that has thrived to achieve perfection n its logistics management so far. As per the observation of the financial aspects of the company, it has more than 70 financial institutions based collaborations and the company has secured 376 million financial transactions over the past few years. This has made the appearance of Australia Post as the only organization in nation which is efficient in delivering quality postal services for more than a century now.
