A PARLIAMENTARY committee will "keep a watching brief" on Australia Post's discussions with struggling Licensed Post Office (LPO) owners, with many fighting for survival.
In its interim report, the Senate inquiry noted there were "numerous issues" in Australia Post's relationship with post office owners.
Licensed owners have complained of having business poached by Australia Post, and of the financial viability of their agreement with the government-owned body.
"Evidence was given that many LPO operators are struggling to survive to the point where some off-site employment is undertaken to fund their operation," the report tabled in the Senate on Wednesday said.
"It is evident it has now become a fight for survival and must be considered a matter of urgency.
"To do nothing would put the future of hundreds of LPOs, principally in rural and regional areas, at risk."
The committee said it was "heartened" Australia Post was attempting to address concerns of licensed owners.
Chair of the committee, the Nationals John Williams, said the committee had agreed to keep a watching brief of the discussions.
It will release its final report by the end of March next year.
