Workplace Giving We encourage team members to donate money to a charity of their choice directly from their pay and we'll match donations up to $200 per team member, per year. People of Post Grants Each year, we encourage our team members to nominate a local organisation they're passionate about to receive a grant to contribute towards a project that helps create positive outcomes and connects the local community.

Emergency Responder leave We provide up to 4 weeks leave to our team members who are protecting and supporting their community through an emergency situation, natural disaster or are called up to the defence forces.
