As a Backpacker or Working Holiday Maker in Australia, you will require a fixed mailing address to receive letters, postcards and parcels. If you are on a Working Holiday and plan to work, you will be required to obtain both a Tax File Number and to set up a Bank Account. If you are yet to find a permanent location to live or if you plan to be constantly travelling to new locations, a Mail Holding Service account is an ideal way to manage your incoming mail. Our mail service account will provide you with a fixed mailing address for a twelve month stay in Australia. Your membership allows us to hold your incoming mail for you to collect or we can scan it to a secure online account.
The taw mail service is available for customers in Australia on a valid Working Holiday or Tourist Visa and is for individual use only. Refer to our terms of use prior to purchase.
