SELLING POST OFFICES
This is the only post office serving a suburb of more than 17,000 people, making it an important local business providing essential postal, banking and retail services to a large and established customer base.
The current owner is selling the business to retire after successfully operating it for the past 20 years. This is a retirement sale, providing a new owner with the opportunity to take over an established business with a long history in the local community.
An Established Business with Strong Growth Potential
An excellent opportunity to acquire an established Australia Post business with strong recurring income, regular customer traffic and multiple opportunities for further growth.
The business has a solid foundation, with an established customer base, experienced staff and purpose built premises. A new owner with more time and focus can build on this foundation and develop several existing revenue opportunities.
Key Business Highlights
Essential Local Business: The only post office serving a suburb of more than 17,000 people, providing postal, parcel, banking and retail services to the local community.
Strong Banking Income: Banking is an important source of revenue, with more customers using Australia Post as local bank branches continue to close or relocate. The business is well positioned to benefit from this trend.
Established Customer Base: Regular customer traffic provides a strong foundation for postal services, banking, parcel collection and additional retail sales.
Purpose Built Premises: The store was specifically designed by the current owner to accommodate a large gift range and includes a dedicated storage area for the significant volume of parcels received for local customers.
Consistent Commission Income
Australia Post and Lotto commissions have remained strong over recent years:
FY2024: $295,740
FY2025: $263,639
FY2026: $284,953
* These figures do not include stock sales, which provide an additional source of income.
The business has also made a positive start to FY2027, with July 2026 commissions already ahead of the previous year. This provides a positive indication for the current financial year.
Multiple Opportunities to Increase Revenue
The current owner has identified several areas where a new owner could further develop the business.
Post Office Box Leasing
There is an opportunity to actively promote PO Box services and increase the number of customers using them. This can provide an additional source of recurring income.
Gift & Retail Expansion
The premises were purpose built to support a large gift range. The existing gift offering can be expanded with additional products and improved merchandising, creating an opportunity to increase retail sales and profit.
Banking
With local and nearby bank branches continuing to close or relocate, Australia Post banking services are becoming increasingly important to the community.
A new owner who actively promotes these services and builds relationships with local customers may be able to further increase banking income.
Customer Engagement
The business already receives regular customers for essential postal and banking services. This provides an opportunity for a new owner to increase the value of each customer visit through strong customer service, retail presentation and customer engagement.
Importantly, many of these opportunities can be developed through active management rather than significant capital expenditure.
Purpose Built Parcel & Retail Facilities
The premises provide a strong operational foundation for the business.
The shop includes a large retail area designed to accommodate an extensive gift range, together with a dedicated storage area purpose built to handle the substantial parcel volumes received for local customers.
This provides both efficient day to day operations and flexibility for a new owner to expand the retail offering.
Training & Handover
No previous post office experience is required.
Australia Post provides comprehensive training and operational support to approved buyers.
The current owner will also provide a full handover to assist the new owner with the transition and ensure continuity of the business.

The Process
In order to buy a post office, you must pass an interview with Australia Post.
Many buyers do not pass this interview.
However, when you buy a post office through LPO Brokers, this risk of failure is minimal: Neil Hollender, the principal of LPO Brokers, used to work for Australia Post and took part in these interviews. You will be prepared for the interview by LPO Brokers, free of charge.
