About Aramex Australia
Aramex Australia is the Australian parcel courier network operated under the Aramex brand after the Fastway Couriers Australia rebrand. It acts mainly as a domestic pickup, depot-sortation, line-haul and last-mile delivery carrier in Australia, and it may also appear in international ecommerce shipments where Aramex Australia or an Aramex network partner handles the Australian leg.
Core Profile
| Field | Verified information |
| Official name | Aramex Australia |
| Official website | https://www.aramex.com.au/ |
| Carrier type | Private courier and parcel delivery carrier; domestic pickup, depot processing, line-haul, franchise courier delivery and business shipping services. |
| Primary region | Australia, with international sending and receiving connections through the wider Aramex network and partners where the selected service supports it. |
| Tracking page | Aramex Australia Track |
| Parent organization | Aramex group brand; local Australian operations use the Aramex Australia customer and courier network. |
| Former brand | Fastway Couriers Australia. Older labels, seller emails and third-party tracking pages may still mention Fastway. |
The name distinction matters: a parcel can be trackable under Aramex Australia even if a merchant still calls the service “Fastway,” but an Aramex Australia domestic tracking number is not the same entity as an Aramex shipment handled only in another country.

Quick Answer
To track an Aramex Australia package, enter the tracking number from the sender’s email, online order page, label or delivery notice on the official Aramex Australia tracking page, or use 17TRACK to view available events across Aramex Australia and other carriers involved in the route. If the result is empty, first check whether you entered an order number instead of a tracking number, whether the parcel has been physically picked up, and whether the seller used the former Fastway name.
Pro Tip: 17TRACK is an independent tracking platform. 17TRACK can display available tracking events, but 17TRACK cannot collect the parcel, change the delivery address, approve a refund, open an insurance claim or instruct an Aramex Australia courier.
How to Track Aramex Australia Packages
Use the official Aramex Australia tracking page for carrier-controlled delivery information, and use 17TRACK when you want a consolidated view for marketplace, cross-border or multi-carrier shipments.
Tracking Paths
| Path | Best use |
| Official Aramex Australia tracking | Use for Australian delivery events, delivery card information, depot progress and carrier support context. |
View all details for official Aramex Australia tracking| Steps | Go to the official Track page, paste the tracking number exactly as supplied, remove spaces or hyphens if the form rejects them, then review the most recent event and delivery location. |
|---|
| Where to find the number | Shipment confirmation email, merchant order page, Aramex Australia label, consignment record, pickup confirmation or delivery notice. |
|---|
| Limitation | An order number, invoice number or merchant reference may not work unless the merchant has linked it to an Aramex Australia consignment. |
|---|
|
| 17TRACK tracking | Use when a marketplace shipment may involve Aramex Australia, another Aramex country entity, a postal operator or a line-haul partner. |
View all details for 17TRACK tracking| Steps | Enter the tracking number on 17TRACK, let carrier detection suggest possible carriers, and compare the event sequence with the seller’s shipping method. |
|---|
| Where to find the number | Marketplace tracking page, ecommerce shipping email, carrier label, seller dashboard or fulfillment platform export. |
|---|
| Limitation | 17TRACK can show available events but cannot create missing carrier scans or override Aramex Australia delivery instructions. |
|---|
|
If you do not have a tracking number, ask the sender or merchant for the carrier tracking number, not only the order number. If the number is new, wait until the parcel is collected or lodged; label creation alone does not prove physical possession by Aramex Australia.
Tracking Statuses and Meanings
Aramex Australia tracking should be read as a physical lifecycle: booking data, pickup or lodgement, depot scans, line-haul, local courier delivery, delivered, pickup, exception or return. The responsible party changes as the parcel moves from merchant to carrier, depot, courier, customs or partner.

Common Tracking Problems and Solutions
Most Aramex Australia tracking problems fall into four groups: the number is not a carrier number, the parcel has not been physically scanned, a depot or partner handoff has created a visibility gap, or an exception needs sender or recipient action.
Problem & Solution
| Problem/status shown | Likely cause |
| Invalid tracking number | Wrong number type, typo, missing characters or carrier mismatch. |

International Shipping, Customs and Carrier Handoffs
For international parcels, Aramex Australia may be the origin carrier, the Australian import last-mile carrier or one visible participant in a wider Aramex and partner chain. Customs arrival is not the same as customs release, and electronic shipment data is not the same as physical handoff.

FAQ
1. How do I track my Aramex Australia package?Enter the tracking number on the official Aramex Australia tracking page or use 17TRACK to view available Aramex Australia and partner events.
2. Where can I find my Aramex Australia tracking number?The tracking number is usually in the seller’s shipping email, marketplace order page, Aramex Australia label, consignment record or delivery notice.
3. What does an Aramex Australia tracking number look like?Aramex Australia tracking numbers can be numeric or alphanumeric depending on the label source, and Aramex Australia does not publish one fixed public format for every current and legacy product.
4. Why does my Aramex Australia tracking number show no events?No events usually means the parcel has not received its first physical pickup or depot scan, or the number is an order reference rather than a carrier consignment number.
5. Why is my Aramex Australia package not updating?Tracking may pause during interstate line-haul, depot transfer, regional delivery, partner handoff or customs processing; escalate if the parcel is outside the expected route window or an exception appears.
6. How long does Aramex Australia delivery take?Aramex Australia delivery time depends on origin, destination, cutoff, service, public holidays and route type; metro parcels are often faster than interstate, regional or international parcels.
7. What should I do after an Aramex Australia delivery attempt?Follow the delivery card or official tracking instructions for redelivery, depot pickup or address clarification before the parcel is returned.
8. What if Aramex Australia says delivered but I did not receive the parcel?Check safe places, mailbox areas, reception, mailrooms, household members and neighbors first, then request delivery details from Aramex Australia and notify the merchant.
9. Who handles a lost or damaged Aramex Australia parcel?The sender or account holder usually handles the carrier claim, while the recipient should keep packaging, take photos and contact the merchant quickly.
10. How do I contact Aramex Australia customer service?Use the official Aramex Australia contact page and prepare the tracking number, address, sender details, last scan and issue description.
11. Is Aramex Australia the same as Fastway?Aramex Australia is the current brand for the Australian courier network formerly known as Fastway Couriers Australia, so older seller messages may still use the Fastway name.
12. Can Aramex Australia track a partner or marketplace number?Aramex Australia may display events for a partner or marketplace number when that number is linked to an Aramex Australia consignment, but that does not mean Aramex Australia issued the original number.
13. What does a partner handoff mean for Aramex Australia tracking?A partner handoff means shipment data or the parcel is moving between carriers; physical responsibility transfers only when the next carrier receives and scans the parcel.
14. Does customs clearance mean Aramex Australia will deliver today?Customs clearance does not guarantee same-day delivery because the parcel must still be released, received by the delivery network, sorted to a depot and assigned to a courier.
15. Can I change the address on an Aramex Australia shipment?Address changes may be possible only before delivery or return and may require sender or account-holder authorization, so contact the merchant and Aramex Australia promptly.
16. Does Aramex Australia provide proof of delivery?Aramex Australia may provide delivery details or proof of delivery where available for the service, but availability depends on the shipment, delivery method and support verification.
17. Can businesses track Aramex Australia shipments through an API?Businesses can use official Aramex Australia account systems where enabled, while a current public official tracking API endpoint is not confirmed here; multi-carrier tracking can be implemented with the 17TRACK API.
Tracking API
// 1. Aramex Australia official tracking API
// Current public official tracking API not confirmed from the public Aramex Australia website.
// Do not copy legacy Fastway endpoints or old Aramex integrations without current Aramex Australia documentation.
// Business shippers should request current integration documentation through official Aramex Australia account channels.
// 2. 17TRACK API
// Register an Aramex Australia tracking number for multi-carrier tracking.
// CARRIER_CODE is left as a placeholder because the current 17TRACK carrier code should be confirmed in the 17TRACK carrier list or API dashboard.
