About

Australia Post is a government owned corporation that delivers postal services in Australia and abroad. Headquartered in Melbourne, Australian Post largely operates in Australia, with offices scattered across the country. Australia Post is one of the most trusted brands in Australia, employing more than 36,000 people across our integrated delivery, logistics, retail and ecommerce network. The company has grown substantially over the years and has recently shifted its core business to reflect the emergence of digital communications and transaction. The internet, while devastating to Australia Post’s letter service, has created new opportunities for ecommerce, which has required the company to develop its parcel delivery and secure online transactions capability. To meet its evolving strategic objectives, Australia Post relies heavily on the expertise of its legal team in negotiating and drafting agreements related to a range of products, ecommerce solutions and agency services provided by the company. Lead by highly experienced Nick Macdonald, the team has received praise for its handling of dispute resolution and competition law, as well as for its involvement in strategic projects. Recently, the team was an integral part of Australia Post’s deal to sign a strategic alliance with the global express delivery and logistics company, Aramex. The deal will offer the company increased access to cross-border logistics and delivery support for Australian businesses and consumers.
