The price of postage is to increase from July 17, with ordinary letters up from $1.50 to $1.70.

There will also be an increase in the price for ordinary large letters, delivered at the regular timetable.

These changes are subject to finalising regulatory processes and follow the ACCC’s preliminary view not to object to the increase.

There is no change proposed to the price of concession stamps, at $3 for a booklet of five stamps, or to seasonal greetings card stamps, at 65c for a small letter.

The pricing of business letter services will also change fromJuly17.

More detail on these price changes is available at auspost.com.au/disruptions-and updates/pricing-updates.

Priority label will increase from 70c to $1.

Australia Post said priority increases were higher than regular prices to help cover the higher costs and greater losses associated with providing this faster service.

Australia Post has provided an indication of future year prices for FY27 and FY28 in its price notification documents to the ACCC in response to customer feedback that this would help with their planning.
