About Australia Post
Australia Post is Australia’s national postal service and provides domestic and international parcel tracking. A MyPost account is optional for basic tracking: the official service can check an item using its tracking number alone.
PostIndex is an independent tracking guide. It does not transport parcels and is not affiliated with Australia Post. The button above opens the official carrier service, where the latest operational tracking data is displayed.
How to track a Australia Post package
Check the dispatch email, online order, label or postal receipt.
Copy every letter and digit without adding spaces unless shown on the label.
Open official tracking and review the newest scan, location and delivery step.

Common Australia Post tracking statuses
The label exists, but the first physical scan may still be pending.
The carrier has received or scanned the item.
The shipment is moving between facilities or postal networks.
An international item is being reviewed for import or export.
The parcel is with the local delivery route.
The carrier recorded delivery, collection or another completed handover.
Why is Australia Post tracking not updating?
The sender may create a label before lodging the parcel. Tracking can also pause during interstate transport, flights, customs checks or a handover to an overseas postal partner. Confirm the complete article ID before trying again.
How long does Australia Post delivery take?
Transit depends on the domestic or international service, distance, destination and customs. Remote areas and international handovers may add time. The current official scan and estimate should be used for delivery planning.
International Australia Post tracking
Cross-border mail may show fewer scans while it is transported between countries. After arrival, customs or a local postal partner can create the next update. When a partner is named, checking the same tracking number on that operator’s official website can provide additional final-mile information.
Australia Post tracking FAQ
Where can I find my Australia Post tracking number?
Look on the shipping confirmation, online order page, receipt, parcel label or message from the sender.
Can I track without a tracking number?
Usually not through public tracking. Contact the sender, retailer or carrier support and provide the order or shipment details they request.
What if tracking says delivered but nothing arrived?
Check the safe place, mailbox, reception and neighbours, then review delivery details. If the item remains missing, contact the sender or official carrier support promptly.
