When you move house it is vital that you notify important organisations of your change of address. This can be a complicated and time consuming task.

It is not only the process of contacting each company individually to notify them of your address change but also trying to remember who you have and have not yet notified.

Filling in all of the change of address forms or making the phone calls necessary, can take a lot of time and time is one thing that most people in the process of moving house certainly don't have a lot of.

Most people are aware of the Australia Post Mail Redirection service, which allows you to redirect your mail from your old address to your new address for a small fee. When you sign up for this service you also get access to their Notify Organisations service.

This service enables you to select, securely online, the organisations you would like to notify of your change of address with. Once selected, notifications will be sent to the relevant organisations in order for them to update your address details.

There is no need for you to provide your new or old address details when using the service because they are already available from the paperwork you filled out for your mail redirection.

The list of organisations is growing all the time as new companies join the ranks at the Australia Post, so it's a good idea to go online to get a current list of what companies you can notify through the service.

Finding and selecting the organisations that are right for you is made easier online. The website lists organisations by industry, category and by "most notified." The most notified organisations are the most common organisations and it is likely that they will apply to you too.

To choose which organisations you want, simply enter the information and click "add" and they will instantly be included on your own personal list of organisations making it really easy for you, to keep track of who you have notified and who you haven't yet chosen to.
