Australians will now be prompted to include traditional place names when addressing letters and parcels, after a community campaign.

The new Australia Post packaging will include a dedicated spot where customers can choose to include the First Nation country, just above the street address on a letter or parcel.

It will be phased in as stock becomes available, as part of NAIDOC week this week.

Gomeroi woman Rachael McPhail says for every town in this country, we have an original name, and it is important to use them as a celebration and to recognise the history and the connection of First People to the country.
