Postal services in Fiji

When was Post Fiji established

In December 1871, the first Postal Act was passed by the Legislative Assembly of the Fiji Government. Until 1989, Fiji’s postal operations were a government department division called the Department of Posts and Telecommunications. In 1990 the department became corporatised, and up till 30 June 1996, Fiji Posts and Telecommunications were restructured three times. On 30 June 1996, the inevitable separation of Post and Telecommunications were finalized, and two entities rose in its stead – Post Fiji Ltd and Telecom Fiji Ltd. Post Fiji Limited commenced as an entity on 1st July 1996. Post Fiji is registered and incorporated under the Companies Act as a private company with shareholding wholly-owned by the Government of Fiji.
