A Senate inquiry has been opened, to look at the future of Australia Post, regarding services in regional and remote communities.

If Alpha Post Office existing in the future matters to you, please take a few minutes to make a submission and tell them why.

Since 1896, Alpha Post Office has been part of what keeps our community connected. It’s not just about stamps and parcels. It’s about providing services locally, staying connected with family, running local businesses, supporting our graziers, and anchoring an essential service right here in Alpha.

📝 Submissions close 7 August 2026

Whether you’re an Alpha local (or a blow-in like myself!), a ringer, a business owner, a grazier, or someone who relies on our postal service. Your opinion matters.

Small towns like Alpha don’t always have a loud voice, but together we can make sure we’re heard.

Please share this with your neighbours, friends and family!

While we have all enjoyed the rain over the last week or so, it has significantly impacted local roads. We understand people are frustrated that their mail has not been delivered on the mail runs; believe us, we share those frustrations!

The fact remains that until the roads are reopened, we are legally prohibited from using them, by both Australia Post and our local police. ‘Local traffic only’ applies to residents of that specific road, not to those living in the surrounding area.

As soon as the roads open up, we will re-commence mail runs, and attempt to deliver out to every property if we think we can access it. If you would prefer us not to attempt to deliver to you just yet, ring us at Alpha LPO on 4985 1147 to let us know to hold off.

Please keep in mind that this decision is not made lightly, but we are required to follow the law. Furthermore, while we understand the disappointment, it is simply unacceptable to be rude and abusive to our team members, and will not be tolerated. Thank you to everyone who has shown patience and understanding, we appreciate you and we look forward to being back on the road as soon as possible!
