Happy Diwali! 🪔 Together, we're celebrating the Festival of Lights right across the country from our support centres to our delivery facilities. As Aruna says, embracing each other's cultures is the best way to learn and connect with one another. Here’s a glimpse into how we’re bringing Diwali to life at Australia Post today and this week. #AusPostLife #Diwali2025 #FestivalOfLights

Postie Wayne’s delivery round in 📮3338 Melton South took an unexpected turn last week, when he found a tiny baby bat clinging to its mum on the ground. He gently covered them using his parcel box and contacted local wildlife carers JABS Joey and Bat Sanctuary for help. Thanks to his quick thinking, the baby was rescued and the team at JABS named him Little Wayne in his honour. 🦇 This small act of compassion is a lovely reminder that community care comes in many forms - whether it’s helping a neighbour, supporting a customer, or, in this case, rescuing a little bat. Yesterday we received a photo update from JABS and are pleased to report that Little Wayne is growing well and loves his heartbeat teddy. A huge thank you to the incredible team at JABS Joey and Bat Sanctuary for everything they do to protect and rehabilitate Australia’s native wildlife. 💚 📸 JABS Joey and Bat Sanctuary #Posties #CommunityStories #WildlifeRescue #AusPost

🚦 Every week, at least five Posties are injured on the road 👋 Meet Emerson, one of our Victorian Posties delivering rain or shine. 💬 “We’re easy to spot in bright yellow but some people still don’t see us. Drivers are focused on where they’re going instead of who’s around them, so we have to stay alert and on our toes.” Last year, more than 280 Posties were injured in third-party traffic incidents - many caused by drivers failing to give way, overtaking too closely, or driving distracted. We’re investing in electric delivery vehicles, in-vehicle safety monitoring, and ongoing safety training to help keep our people safe. But road safety is something we all share. 🗨️ “Everyone needs to stay safe on the roads, whether you’re a Postie, a cyclist, a driver or a pedestrian.” 🛣️ Stay alert, and stay safe on the roads 📍 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gtRCnTTy
