A community petition titled “Save Revesby Post Office!” is calling on decision-makers to protect our local branch and keep essential services within easy reach of residents, seniors, and small businesses. You can add your name here: https://campaigncentral.org.au/Survey/Form/b1e00ff9-16a8-44b8-b5b1-72b59186741f.
It is worth noting that Clr. Bilal El Hayek, Mayor of the City of Canterbury Bankstown, Mrs. Kylie Wilkinson, State Member for East Hills, and Zhi Soon, Federal Member for Banks have all taken to social media to express their outrage at the decision.
Why the Revesby Post Office is vital
It keeps everyday banking accessible. With many bank branches reducing hours or closing, Bank@Post lets customers from participating banks withdraw and deposit cash and check balances over the counter at participating Post Offices—crucial for cash-reliant households and traders.
It provides trusted ID and document services. Post Offices help with passport and ID photos, identity verification, tax file number applications, and police checks—services that are hard to replace if moved further away or cut back.
It supports small business. Reliable parcel lodgement and collection underpin local e-commerce and sole traders, especially those who ship and receive goods daily. Australia Post’s retail network is designed to serve communities as a multi-service hub, not just a letter counter.
What the petition asks
The petition urges decision-makers to retain a full-service Post Office in Revesby and to consult the community before any change that would reduce access to banking, identity, passport, or parcel services.

- Use the services locally—bank through Bank@Post and do your passport/ID photos and verifications at the Post Office to demonstrate ongoing demand.
- Contact representatives to express why a full-service branch matters for vulnerable residents, people with limited digital access, and small businesses that rely on in-person services. (Bank@Post is a key safety net when bank branches thin out.)
Protecting the Revesby Post Office is about more than nostalgia—it’s about keeping essential services close to home, safeguarding accessibility for seniors and families, and supporting local jobs and commerce. Every signature helps show that our community values a strong, full-service Post Office at the heart of Revesby.
