Terry Ashcroft has been helping Licensees buy and sell LPOs in NSW for longer than most of us can remember. For many Licensees he is to go to man in times of need and he inspired the birth of LPOG with regular network meetings for NSW Licensees to help improve our businesses.

Each year Terry sends his newsletter and calendar to NSW based Licensees but his words resonate with all Licensees. Terry has kindly allowed LPOG to publish his light Christmas reading on our website for all to read.

Another year done and dusted and a new one soon to begin, and before we know it we will be wondering where our Christmas stamps are, all over again.

Help stamp out paper bill charges, have your say! Help the Keep Me Posted Campaign

The lifeblood for LPOs is paying customers, looking for the services we provide. Bill pay and postage are 2 of our main services, so charges for our customers to receive a paper bill, and then again being charged to pay the bill in person at the PO, is impacting greatly on our customers and our network viability.

The Treasury is calling for your views on this idea, and we are urging every Licensee to make a submission before COB 22 December, 2017. 

Follow this link to make your submission, and let treasury know what this means for so many of our customers who struggle daily to meet the onslaught of the digital disruption.

If you are one of the many LPOs unable to use POP effieciently,  here is the notification to opt in for the POB Advance payment.

If you are keen to keep trying to get it from POP, then use OPT in the search bar because ...............someone thought that made sense

As it says, this needs to be back to Australia Post by the 12 January, 2018 if you want the cash in your cash flow!

The request form for closing your LPO on the authorised holiday is coming up as access denied today on POP.

If you are wanting to close your LPO on this day you need to have the request into Post by 8 Dec - to allow enough time for diversion of mail and parcels.

Workplace Relations Risks to Franchisors and Holding Companies Rise

Great news for licensee attending the LPOG Tradeshow in Sydney on 28th October. Our new CEO, Christine Holgate has accepted an invitation to join us for part of the day, and to address licensees at a public meeting prior to the LPOG AGM, to be held after the trade show.

Great news for NSW residents and especially for NSW LPOs.

MEDIA​ ​RELEASE 27/08/2017

LPOGroup welcomes the remuneration transparency for Australia Post’s MD / GCEO & Senior Executives in the Australia Post 2017 Remuneration Report released today.

We understand that this has been a matter of public interest in recent times and the remuneration structure and explanations within the report are insightful.

Of particular interest is the LTI (Long Term Incentive) plan in which considerable bonuses were paid to the MD & GCEO on the condition of meeting various ‘Success factors’.

The ACCC has released the Draft Determination in regard to the LPOG application for Collective Bargaining.
