The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has called on consumers and businesses to speak their minds about Australia Post’s draft proposal to increase its base postage rate.
According to the proposal, Australia Post is looking to raise stamp prices by 25% from January 2024.
Here’s what those changes would translate to:
- Ordinary small letters: $1.20 to $1.50;
- Ordinary large letters up to 125 grams: $2.40 to $3.00; and
- Ordinary large letters between 125 grams and 250 grams: $3.60 to $4.50.
There are no plans to increase the price of concession stamps or stamps for seasonal greeting cards, which are currently priced at $0.60
