Delivery contractors deserve real support
Being a delivery contractor at Australia Post means juggling a lot.
When things change, you need the CWU in your corner.
Join Now Tell me moreThe Communication Workers Union (CWU) is the Union for postal services delivery contractors working within the Australia Post group. We understand the unique pressures of the job.
We all know that Australia Post employees are well represented. Because of strong Union membership levels, they benefit from secure jobs, market-leading pay and conditions and an emphasis on workplace safety.
Contractors deserve the same in pay, conditions and support.
The CWU only represents delivery contractors working within the Australia Post group. We don’t represent competitors, so we’re not distracted by working with those who are competing for a slice of Australia Post’s market-share and a race to the bottom on contractors’ take-home-pay and conditions.
Why contractors are joining the CWU:
Support when contractors or conditions change
Clear, informed guidance to help contractors navigate changes in work, conditions, or network requirements
Expert advice on rates, standards and compliance
Practical, up‑to‑date advice that ensures contractors have the informed guidance needed to protect their livelihoods and avoid compliance risks
Industrial and legal representation if issues arise
A stronger collective voice for contractors
“We won’t ever go to work without the CWU”
“When our local parcel contract changed hands, drivers started losing fairness and clarity around their pay and conditions. The CWU stepped in and made sure we were treated properly, paid correctly, and able to keep working under fair conditions. Having the union backing us made all the difference. It restored confi dence and reminded us that someone was in our corner. We won’t ever go to work without the CWU.”
