2020 Australia Post ORIAS

The Australia Post Online Retail Industry Awards is the event that celebrates all that is truly good and inspiring within an industry that is one we are all so passionate about. This year, the celebration you know and love us for is going to look a little different.

A safe, socially distanced party is no way to party – so while the party gets put on ice until 2021 when we can come back with a bang, we wanted to push forward with still delivering the real value of the Australia Post ORIAS.

In 2020, the Australia Post ORIAS will continue to connect the industry through its formal recognition of friends and colleagues, who slugged it through a really tough time, and demonstrated award winning displays of innovation to take a piece back from “the year that was”.

The Australia Post ORIAS submissions have now closed - good luck to everyone who entered their business into the category that best defined their achievements in 2020. Our esteemed judging panel will highlight your work, so that the year doesn’t escape without celebrating the true performers in online retail.
