CHANGE OF ADDRESS

It is hard enough to have to pack and physically move without having to worry about whether or not you are going to receive your mail.

Australia Post has a 'Change of Address' form that will notify the Post Office about your move so that your mail can be redirected to your new address. This service does not update the senders with your new address; you will need to attend to this personally.

Credit Card accounts and Instalment Loans usually have places on their Return Slips for you to notify them of a change of address.

Some people who don't send you mail on a regular basis will need to be notified directly about your new address.
