Christmas Care Package's

A Christmas Care Package Aussie Soldiers Overseas plan is being developed by the National Welfare Coordination Centre. They can be contacted on telephone 1800 801 026.

They will release details for a specific Armed Forces Post Office (AFPO) address for such parcels to be sent to in order to reach the soldiers.
Once this address has been released (I phoned the NWCC today and they have not yet released the AFPO address) then we will have until 15 Dec to submit our parcels to that address.

In the meantime, if a family has a specific person they wish to send a small parcel to, then the individual address details are, for Operation ASTUTE in Timor Leste:


PMKeys Number, Rank, Name
AFPO 05
Australian Defence Forces
NSW 2890

and for Operation SLIPPER at Tarin Kowt Afghanistan:

PMKeys Number, Rank, Name
AFPO 13
Australian Defence Forces
NSW 2890

I hope this is of some assistance.

Best regards,


Stuart Smith
Brigadier
Commander 3 Brigade
(currently deploy on Exercise HAMEL)
