Send Rakhi to Australia: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth Guide

Australia has become home to a large Indian community, with Melbourne and Sydney leading the way. Sending a rakhi there is simple, but Australia's biosecurity rules mean you should think about what goes in the box.

Delivery times to Australia

• Express Delivery: 4 to 6 working days after dispatch.
• Standard Delivery: 8 to 12 working days after dispatch.

Border inspections can add a few days in August. For Tuesday, 17 August 2027, order Express by 3 August or Standard by 21 July.

What you can and cannot send

Australia does not allow many food and plant products from abroad. To keep your parcel moving, we do not ship most sweets and dry fruits there. Rakhis, rakhi sets, bhaiya bhabhi pairs and kids rakhis are the safest choice. Every product page shows whether it can be delivered to Australia.

• Victoria: Melbourne (Point Cook, Tarneit, Clayton, Dandenong)

Address tips

1. Write the unit number before the street number, for example 12/45 Smith Street.
