Electric Vehicle Delivery Driver — Australia Post, Palmyra WA (2026) Full Time

If you hold a full or probationary Australian driver’s licence and want a delivery driving role that gets you outdoors on a modern electric vehicle, this Electric Vehicle Delivery Driver position at Australia Post’s Palmyra Delivery Centre in Western Australia is worth a look. It’s a permanent full-time role with one of Australia’s most trusted national brands — and you’ll be riding a three-wheeled electric vehicle, not stuck behind a desk.

Quick job overview

About Australia Post

Australia Post is the country’s national postal service — the organisation that keeps Australians connected, from dense city suburbs to remote outback communities. It’s one of Australia’s most trusted and recognisable brands, delivering mail, parcels, and logistics services to homes and businesses across the entire continent. The company has been investing heavily in electric delivery vehicles as part of its sustainability push, which is why this role exists — you’d be riding a modern three-wheeled electric vehicle rather than a traditional petrol bike.

The Palmyra Delivery Centre is in Perth’s southern suburbs, serving the local community in the Fremantle area of Western Australia.

What this role involves

This is a delivery driving role — known internally as a “Postie” — where you’ll be riding a three-wheeled electric delivery vehicle. Your day starts at the delivery centre as part of a team, preparing mail and small parcels for the day’s run. Then you head out on your electric vehicle to deliver to homes and businesses along your assigned route.

The role is designed to be a good mix of team time and solo time — you start the day with colleagues at the facility, then spend most of your shift out on the road by yourself, delivering to your local community. Australia Post emphasises that experienced Rider Mentors provide hands-on guidance and ongoing support, especially when you’re new.

Key parts of the day include completing daily vehicle checks, following established safety processes, and handling mail and parcels weighing up to 16kg. Safety is built into every part of the role — from vehicle checks to delivery procedures designed for changing weather and road conditions.

Required skills and qualifications

Australia Post lists the following as essential:

• A full or probationary Australian driver’s licence — this is the core requirement
• Ability to pass required assessments
• Flexibility to work additional hours when needed
• Reliability and attention to detail — you’ll be handling mail and parcels up to 16kg
• Ability to meet the role’s safe working load limit (120kg or less)
• Willingness to learn and progress — Australia Post mentions pathways into senior delivery or frontline leadership roles

Prior delivery experience isn’t explicitly required. The emphasis is on safety, reliability, and willingness to learn. Rider Mentors provide hands-on training.

Salary, benefits, and relocation support

The job posting does not state a specific salary figure, so per JobsRivo’s policy we record that as not specified by the employer. We do not estimate pay from market averages or third-party sources.

What the listing does confirm about the role:

• Permanent full-time employment — not a casual or temporary contract
• Working hours that give you flexibility before or after work
• A mix of team time at the start of the day and solo time on the road
• Safety and wellbeing prioritised above everything else
• Opportunities for training, growth, and development with pathways into transport or other areas of the business
• Post Perks — discounts and offers on various brands, plus access to health and wellbeing resources

Relocation support is not mentioned in the listing. If you’re not already based in or near Palmyra/Perth, you’d need to clarify this with Australia Post’s recruitment team before applying.

Work permit / visa note

The listing does not mention visa sponsorship or work permit support. The requirement for an Australian driver’s licence means this role is aimed at applicants already based in Australia — particularly those with Australian citizenship, permanent residency, or a valid work visa that allows them to hold an Australian driver’s licence.

For context only (not as a promise for this job): Australia operates a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) and an Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa (subclass 186) for skilled workers, but employers must actively sponsor these. Australia Post is a major national employer and may sponsor for other positions — but for this specific delivery driver role, the listing appears aimed at locally-based applicants.

Who this role may suit

This role is a good fit if:

• You hold a full or probationary Australian driver’s licence
• You’re based in or near Palmyra/Perth, Western Australia
• You enjoy being outdoors and active — this is not a desk job
• You like the idea of riding a modern electric vehicle rather than driving a van
• You want a permanent full-time role with a major Australian employer
• You value a mix of team time and independent work
• You’re interested in career progression — Australia Post mentions pathways into senior delivery or leadership roles

Frequently asked questions

What kind of vehicle will I be driving?

A modern three-wheeled electric delivery vehicle. Australia Post has been rolling these out across its delivery network as part of its sustainability push. It’s not a motorcycle and not a car — it’s a purpose-built electric trike designed for mail and parcel delivery.

Permanent full-time. This is not a casual or seasonal position — it’s an ongoing role with Australia Post, which is a significant advantage compared to many delivery jobs that are offered on a casual or contract basis.

Do I need my own vehicle?

No. Australia Post provides the electric delivery vehicle. You’ll complete daily checks on it as part of your routine, but the vehicle is supplied by the company.

Does Australia Post sponsor a work visa for this role?

The listing does not mention visa sponsorship. The requirement for an Australian driver’s licence suggests the role is aimed at applicants already based in Australia. If you need a work visa, clarify this with Australia Post’s recruitment team before applying.
