STOP AND CONTACT THE COORDINATOR
- If the weather is unsafe.
- If the temperature is above 35°C and you have not been given a safe alternative arrangement.
- If there is flooding, lightning or a dangerous storm.
- If a property, dog, road or area is unsafe.
- If the map is wrong or a street cannot be found.
- If you have too much or too little stock for the assigned area.
- If you cannot complete the job.
The temperature rule does not mean conditions below 35°C are always safe. Stop whenever conditions are unsafe.
Leftover flyers
Leftover stock does not mean you should keep delivering outside the map. Stop when the assigned area is complete. Record why stock remains and follow the return or stock instructions.
Only send the job information we need
Most Walkers use their own phone. Job screenshots may show the route, date, time, duration or distance.
GPS and app records are internal supporting information. They are checked with approved field-delivery time, pace, speed, distance, movement pattern, assigned work, field notes and invoice records. See our Privacy Policy.
Walker application form
Complete the form below. Use your correct name, phone number, email, suburb and availability. We do not take Walker applications by phone.
- Applying does not guarantee approval or work.
- Work, hours and income are not guaranteed.
- You may be contacted only when suitable local work is available.
- You must read the job offer before accepting it.
- Approved contractors may need an ABN and other invoice or payment details.
The form collects information needed to assess your application and contact you about roster work. See the Privacy Policy.
Allow a few seconds for the form to appear. If it does not load, refresh the page and check whether your browser is blocking it.
Submit your records after the job
Payment is based on the accepted job and approved field-delivery time. The flyer quantity helps us plan the work. It is not payment per flyer.
- Finish the assigned work, or report why you could not finish it.
- Save the required app activity for each shift or day.
- Write clear notes about access problems, weather stops and leftover stock.
- Submit the invoice with the required screenshots and approved hours.

Payment is checked first
Your invoice must match the accepted job. Missing, reused, misleadingly altered or unclear records can delay payment approval. Redact unrelated private information without changing or hiding the required job evidence.
Do not add unapproved items
Do not add extra hours, travel, waiting time, helpers or extra areas unless the coordinator approved them first.
Invoice and supporting records are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
This page shows the basic instructions we give Walkers
Clients are encouraged to read this page. The managed delivery process is part of the product you are buying.
The service is not only the physical act of placing flyers into letterboxes. It also includes the way work is mapped, allocated, explained to Walkers, checked internally and closed out after the required records are reviewed.
Clients do not hire, direct or contact individual Walkers. Questions, changes and campaign instructions must go through Letterbox Distribution Services.
The service can include campaign planning, mapping, section allocation, stock coordination, contractor briefing, field-delivery labour, reassignment, verification, invoice review and campaign close-out.
How a campaign moves through the system
Important limits
- Broad-area distribution does not guarantee every individual letterbox.
- Weather, access, safety, signage, development changes and mapping updates can affect field coverage.
- Shared Weekly receives completion confirmation only.
- For Area-Specific Solo and Express Solo, written suburb-by-day delivery confirmation may be requested after completion and internal audit.
- Raw GPS, personal-device screenshots, app files and individual Walker records are not supplied as standard Client reporting.
- Delivery, report and completion dates are not guaranteed unless expressly agreed in writing.
The booked service, confirmed quotation and Terms & Conditions determine the campaign scope. Nothing on this page removes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Simple rules support a consistent service
Walkers need clear instructions. Clients need a clear process. Both are supported by mapped work, job notes, app records and internal checks.
- Job-by-job offers — Walkers can accept or decline each assignment.
- Independent contractors — work, hours and income are not guaranteed.
- Mapped allocations — each assignment has an area, quantity and approved labour allowance.
- Simple field rules — no dumping, bundling, unauthorised helpers or area changes.
- Safety and access — Walkers stop for unsafe conditions and record exclusions.
- Internal privacy — raw screenshots and personal details are not Client reports.
- Shared Weekly confirmation — completion confirmation only.
- Solo / Express confirmation — suburb-by-day confirmation may be requested after completion and internal audit.
How work is checked

Shared Weekly receives completion confirmation only. For Area-Specific Solo and Express Solo, written suburb-by-day delivery confirmation may be requested after completion and internal audit. Raw GPS, screenshots, live tracking and individual Walker records are not supplied as standard Client reporting. See the Terms & Conditions.
