Big Commissions | Busy Shopping Centre
This post office presents an opportunity to acquire a long established, high performing post office with a proven 30+ year trading history, close to $500,000 in annual Australia Post commissions, a newly renewed 7 year lease, significant Australia Post rent subsidy support, established commercial customers and a streamlined operating model.
Established at its current location since October 1994 and an original tenant since the centre opened, the business has more than 30 years of trading history.
Strong Australia Post Commission
Australia Post commissions have remained consistently high:
FY2024: $477,822
FY2025: $469,727
FY2026: $496,883
These figures relate to Australia Post commissions only and do not include additional profit generated from stock sales.
Key Highlights
Spacious Premises: 145 m² fitted with 4 terminals
Prime Shopping Centre Location: Surrounded by major retailers including Coles, Woolworths, Kmart etc.
Secure Long Term Lease: Brand new 7 year lease commenced October 2026
Australia Post Rent Subsidy: Approximately $6,300 per month, reviewed annually to keep lease costs under 15% of revenue
Recurring Income: Approximately 200 PO Boxes rented on site
Convenient Parking: Dedicated shopping centre staff parking available
Strong Product Sales: Consistent sales of Australia Post satchels, boxes, prepaid products, Express envelopes, gift items and greeting cards.
An additional counter for photocopying, email/USB printing, Statutory Declarations, Power of Attorney and Wills which is another excellent added source of income.
Under Management Business
The business is currently fully staff managed, with 3 staff members on site.
An owner operator couple may be able to operate the business with approximately 0.5 to 1 additional staff, creating an opportunity to reduce wage costs and increase net profit.
There is also future growth potential. An Expression of Interest has been submitted to Australia Post for an outdoor Parcel Locker at the site, which may provide additional income from parcel loading and over the counter collection services.
Simple Transition & Full Support
No Previous Experience Required: Australia Post provides a comprehensive training program covering operations, systems and compliance
Smooth Handover: The outgoing owner will provide a full handover and ongoing transition support
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Nearly $500,000 in annual Australia Post commissions

General Overview
* As a post office owner, you become your own boss. You run the business - no one tells you what to do.

* As a post office owner, you will receive support from Australia Post. Your success is Australia Post's success.
The buyer is to conduct their own investigations regarding the business. The buyer is not to rely upon warranty or statement made by the vendor or by anyone on the vendor’s behalf.
The owner does not want to be approached by potential buyers. All communication should be done through the agent.
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.
