You can Register a Business and have all vehicles registered to your Business - You will need to provide a Street address for your business (Name) that could be a trusted relative's address that could contact you in the event of Aust Post delivering letter. If no trusted relatives most Solicitors and Accountancy Firms are able to provide an actual street address (at a cost). Most transactions are able to be done on line. Do not leave old address for car and licence it is illegal and they may be cancelled without you being aware.

Get a PO box & then have your mail held at the PO or redirected from it to wherever you are in Australia.
You don't have to have a street address, a PO box is an actual mailing address.
Pensioner discount available on hold and/or redirection.

That works. However, it doesn't work for insurance policies vehicle/van, registration of vehicle/van, licence as each of those require a residential address which can be different to the postal address.

Yes it does, there's absolutely no difference between a street address & a post box address they are both legal/valid address's as far as ANY type of mail is concerned.
If someone doesn't have a street address a PO box address is more than good enough.
If you're on the road traveling full time, when filling in forms that require a street address just write NOT APPLICABLE & supply a PO box number. It'll do sufficiently.

In NSW a living person requires a residential address for Motor Vehicle registration, whereas a Company may have an NSW postal address only.

What about a dead person, how do they go?
There's no difference between a business PO box & a residential PO box.
I retired from Australia Post 8 years ago.

Australia Post may accept either for delivery, but Motor Registration probably dont' accept a PO Box as a garaging address (too cramped I suspect and not meeting housing regulations!)

As others have also said, DD, Aust Post quite obviously accepts a PO box as an "address" but you seem reluctant to accept the facts.
Motor Registration Branches Straya-wide REQUIRE a physical, residential address for the registration of a private vehicle/van. It is acceptable that a PO box is provided along with the physical address for postal advice - or that an email address is provided as a method of receiving advice etc.
Similarly, insurance companies REQUIRE a residential address for calculation of the premium as various postcodes/addresses attract differing premiums. In fact, the policy application contains the question, "Where will the vehicle/van be garaged?" It is quite acceptable to provide a PO box (or email address) for receiving advice etc once policy is in place.
PS - I think in the case of a dead person their mail goes to the Dead Letter Office.
Cheers - stay well, travel safely and I hope ya mail gets through - John

Hi all,
I have pondered this dilemma regarding my Registration & Insurances and other bills as there has been an issue in SA from the relevant governing bodies with precise rules of engagement. And yes it has been a problem so to counterbalance these issues I claim my daughters home address as my PPR. (Principle Place of Residence) All mail goes directly to her (and she lets me know if there is any urgent matter that requires action Opppssss.. if I get a ticket she'll know about it though! ) This seems to be acceptable by all concerned parties.
Hope that helps Gwynnie

To register a vehicle in NSW you can't register in a deceased persons name, nor in any personal name without residential address other than as a Company. It is not the PO box difference it is in the entity owning the registration.

Motor vehicle/caravan registration REQUIRES a physical address and an insurance policy REQUIRES a physical address where the vehicle/van "will be garaged".
BUT - a PO box can be used as a POSTAL address but is not acceptable as a PHYSICAL address.
Yeah - otherwise, let's agree to disagree on other issues ......... well we tend to disagree on most issues.

When I worked in accounts [Qld] we asked for a residential address as you can't live in a PO box ?? so PO box was not accepted
Hi we are selling up and going on the road full time so will have no fixed address
we don't have someones address to use, so what do we do re registration of vehicles
i think if i pay rego online and just leave my old address ? or do i use the caravan park
that i am staying in at that particular time, but with any of those actions what if i get
an infringement notice 6 months later which would be sent to address on the rego (not that I'm planning on getting one)
How do we know we've got one? and how do we pay it?
