StarTrack is owned by Australia Post and these days there is very little demarcation.  If AP had their way the local posties and StarTrack would be all be delivering the same items.

A bit off topic, but I figured if anyone would know, it would be you, and it's just something I'm curious about - when I purchase products from Aus Post for delivery (like packaging supplies), and occasionally at other times, the email notification of the shipment says "Your delivery from Aus Post / DHL is on it's way" plus a few other variations (DHL also sent me some supplies for my international shipments, but Aus post delivered them). I figured they would have to be partnered in some way, as the packages I send through them are delivered by the local postal service when they arrive in the destination country and the same would apply to packages from OS using the same service, but it always struck me as unusual that a purchase from Australia Post themselves, and shipped domestically, would involve DHL in any way at all, or more specifically, that they are named as the shipper of the package (my other purchases usually name the business who sent the parcel in the email header), so have always been curious exactly what their affiliation is.

I've tried to google but couldn't really get anything except complaints about DHL handing parcels over to Aus Post for delivery (I used to be able to get international courier items sent to my PO box if it was through DHL, but haven't been able to for a couple of years, sadly).
