Traditional Place Names

Traditional Place Names

Via Change.org/TraditionalPlaceNames, started by Rachael McPhail

Every area on this continent now known as Australia has an original place name. 

I am calling for place names to be made part of the official address information in Australia, the same as postcodes and street names. 

I am also calling for Australia Post to collate a comprehensive and accurate database of traditional place names, by consulting with Elders and First Nations knowledge holders on each Country.

Please sign this petition, and keep adding in the traditional place name when placing online orders or sending parcels!

Email Australia Post

It's been six weeks since I spoke with Australia Post team members about including traditional place names in addresses. I'm yet to see an official response from them regarding the various actions points I suggested.

Please help amplify my voice by asking Australia Post to commit to acknowledging Australia's Frist Nations history and culture. Please email them with my 3 requests.
