Amazon Australia to open sort centre in Melbourne

This is Amazon’s first dedicated sort centre in Australia.

Amazon Australia will be opening a sort centre at Goodman Group’s new Amaroo Business Park in Craigieburn, Melbourne this year, the company’s first dedicated sort centre in the country.

In a statement, Amazon said the 15,600 square metre sort centre will allow the company to enhance delivery speed for customers in the country, especially in the state of Victoria. This is the Amazon's fifth operations site in the state.

The sort centre will also create around 200 local jobs ranging from entry level positions to specialist roles which include human resources, workplace health and safety to team leader positions.

Construction of the sort centre has already started and generated over 700 construction jobs, according to Amazon.

Sort Centres are where already-picked-and-packed customer orders are sorted by final destination, consolidated and shipped to last mile sites for delivery, it said.
