Stop Mail Being Sent to a Deceased Person in Australia

We understand that receiving direct mail addressed to a deceased person is very distressing, and you can help stop this unwanted mail by registering the name and address details of a deceased person with The Australian Bereavement Register.

The Australian Bereavement Register is a free service to consumers that helps stop unwanted mail being sent to the deceased. The purpose of The Australian Bereavement Register is to enable organisations to match their customer and prospect mailing lists with The Australian Bereavement Register and remove anyone who has died before marketing to them. You can find out more about the service and register details online at www.tabr.com.au

Information on Opt-Out Processing

Please be aware of the following:

  1. After completing any of the above opt-out options for direct mail, it may take up to 4-months for your name to clear entirely from our database. We process opt-out requests promptly upon receipt, but due to marketing campaigns already underway, you may receive marketing materials for up to 4-months after you opt-out. We appreciate your patience in giving us time to carry out your request.
  2. When you opt-out from our database, we will continue to keep a record of your personal details, but only to ensure that you are not included in any client’s future marketing campaigns.
  3. If you move or change your name, we may have difficulty identifying you as someone who has opted out of our database. If you find that you are receiving unwanted marketing materials, please let us know so that we can update your record.
