CUSTOMERS have learned that Australia Post has lodged a draft notification with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), seeking an increase to the Basic Postage Rate (BPR).
Under the proposed change, BPR would increase 10 cents, from $1.10 to $1.20 as of January 2023. It is the first increase since January 2020.
“We believe there is still an important role for letters in business communication, and the proposed increases will ensure the sustainability of our delivery networks, so we can continue to provide quality products and services,” said AusPost executive general manager (customer & commercial), Gary Starr.
The ACCC has received a proposal to change the pricing of other letter services, also to take effect from January 2023.
Once the ACCC responds to the draft notification, AusPost will update customers with further information.
