Our organisation and key management personnel

The purpose of the Remuneration Report (report) is to set out the principles and the strategy Australia Post applies to remunerate key management personnel (KMP) and other highly paid employees. In addition the report outlines how our remuneration strategy is aligned to our goals and strategic imperatives. The alignment enables performance-based reward and supports the attraction and retention of high-calibre senior executives.

The information provided in the report has been prepared and is aligned to disclosure requirements outlined in the Corporations Act 2001, Section 300A and the Public Governance, Performance Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) and the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014 (PGPA Rule). The statutory tables contained at the end of this report are compliant with the accounting standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and aim to maintain a high standard of clarity and transparency for all stakeholders.

The report details financial year 2019 (FY19) remuneration information for the year ended 30 June 2019 as it applies to KMP, including Board directors, the Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (GCEO&MD) and senior executives. For the purposes of this report, senior executives are defined as the employees reporting to the GCEO&MD who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Enterprise. Also included is a report on the total remuneration for “other highly paid staff” on an aggregated basis by remuneration band under the PGPA Rule. Reporting under the PGPA Rule will be provided in bands of $25,000 for those employees of the Australian Postal Corporation whose total remuneration exceeds $220,000 in FY19. The additional reporting requirements result in 493 employees’ remuneration captured in the aggregated remuneration disclosure.
