During these very trying times I believe it’s important to remind Licensees of the need to keep a level head. While it is easy to become overawed by the Covid-19, and the effects it is having on our communities, our communities will be looking to us to show leadership and provide direction.
Useful information about what to do if you have a Covid-19 case at work. Also information about cleaning the work site.
During the February and March LEEP rounds, Licensees were expecting to see the LBP presentation which just may well be the next big thing for many Licensees. Unfortunately Covid-19 interrupted the LEEPs rounds, and then everything else has been interrupted since.
As a consequence LPOG requested that the LBP presentation be made available via video, so Licensees that were not able to attend their LEEPs, could see the presentation and start thinking about how this can assist us to grow our business when we are back to normal.
The LBP program is to upskill Licensees and Australia Post Corporate staff to enhance our customers experience, as such to view the video of the LEEP presentation you will need to log into the LPOG members area on this site.
If you are not a member of LPOG, you can also view the LEEP presentation video on the Australia Post LPO Events facebook page. Many of the past LPO Expos, and LEEP presentations, have been posted previously to this page, so you may already be registered in that group. If you are not a member of that group, just ask to join and provide your WCC and name and you will be accepted. Likewise it is also available on the LPOs United facebook group.
They have a lot more bandwidth than we do.
The Government announced a Business stimulus package on the 17 March for small businesses, which has now been enhanced with increased support for cash flow challenges.

The ACCC has published this document to assist small business. It may assist some Licensees and inconjunction Licensees.
This will be a great relief to many of us

Today is an excellent day for every Licensee to be contacting all the Chemist in your area to help get them set up for the new home delivery service.
Australia Post has sourced sneeze screens for every retail outlet across Australia and 1,000 will be on their way to outlets starting tonight. First up will be WA, Qld and NT. The next dispatch will be to the rest of the states. Hopefully we should all have them in place soon. The sneeze screens are being provided at no cost to Licensees. They are peel and stick, so will be self installed.
Just had approval to announce that Australia Post has sourced a mass roll out of acrylic screens for every terminal in the network FREE OF CHARGE.
The best solution for the long haul, and far better than hand sanitizer and masks. The prototype was installed today in an LPO in Melbourne to make sure it’s a good solution.
