From their email today:
No Weekend Collections in Victoria
There will be no collections in Victoria this weekend – the last pickup for the week will be Friday 28 August 2020 by 8pm and the next collection will be Monday 31 August 2020 commencing from 5am.
Victoria destined Parcels
With the massive demand and workforce capacity constraints, we foresee an additional 3 day delay for deliveries in Victoria. This is both within and into Victoria.
This means, any lodgements made in other States destined for Victoria may be held in those States for up to 3 business days to allow Victoria to work through the present demand.
Father's Day
For deliveries across Australia, we recommend at least the following lodgement dates for delivery before Father's Day on Sunday 6 September 2020:
- Parcel Post and letters – Friday 28 August 2020
- Express Post parcels – Monday 31 August 2020
For items lodged after these dates, whilst we will try our best, we do not expect to be able to meet delivery for Father's Day.

So glad you posted this after someone else posted it today. I wonder how many more will post an identical post?

No more weekend collections is a bummer, it was a convenient way of pinching a "business day" from your handling time, and your ETA.
Betcha it's also another service reduction which won't be restored post-Covid.

Guys there are no pick ups over the weekend in Suburbs in NSW here too anymore. Our box is now Monday to Friday before 4pm even that is a farce! The AP guy is there collecting at 3pm daily...Go figure!

Why did you cut out the rest of the details? This was already posted here.

It doesn't bother us at all, as we're used to it.
Some people have been spoilt 😄

Sorry for the duplicate post everyone. I did check before posting it, and for some reason I did not see one. I would not have posted it otherwise.
