A spokesperson for Australia Post said the licensee has decided to close the business. The post office is inside Telarah IGA.
"Following a decision by the licensee to close its postal business, Telarah will no longer provide postal services after 15 April 2024," they said.
"The local area is well-serviced, with three post offices within a five-kilometre radius, including the Rutherford Post Office 1.5km away and Maitland Post Shop 2.1km away.
"We look forward to welcoming customers to one of the surrounding outlets."
Existing Telarah PO box customers can lease a box at Maitland or Rutherford post offices.
The post office moved into Telarah IGA in 2022 after decades in Telarah Newsagency.
