This FOI release is a single Comcare inspector report, dated 15 November 2022, concerning the safety of Electric Delivery Vehicles (three-wheeled EDVs) used by Australia Post's Postal Delivery Officers. The inspection followed a April 2022 complaint from the Communication Workers Union alleging EDVs were unstable and that rollovers were under-reported to Comcare. The inspector found no non-compliance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 within the inspection's scope, noted that Australia Post's rollover notifications appeared consistent with the Act, and closed the inspection. The report cites footage showing less severe injuries to EDV riders than to motorcycle riders, Joint Consultative Forum minutes showing motorcycle incidents reported at a higher rate than EDV incidents, and ongoing EDV design modifications. Some personal and contact details are redacted under sections 22 and 47F.
