This could suit you if…
You like being on the move and can find a delivery role that matches your licence and vehicle access.
The trade-offs
Own-vehicle costs and unpaid time can reduce what you keep. Loading, deadlines and depot start times make this more than simply driving around.
Is this work right for you?
Van delivery
Load, scan and deliver parcels or goods along a route. Check lifting requirements, vehicle class and depot start time.
Own-vehicle delivery
Use your own vehicle for deliveries. Work out fuel, insurance, maintenance and unpaid time before comparing the advertised earnings.
Start with the vehicle question
If you do not own a car, ask specifically for a supplied-vehicle role. A driving vacancy does not automatically come with a vehicle, and a company car for work does not necessarily cover your commute.
What do I need?
Will my licence be accepted?
Give the employer your licence country, class and restrictions. Confirm state driving rules and employer approval for the exact vehicle before accepting.
What if I use my own car?
Ask your insurer whether delivery use is covered. Get the payment basis, kilometre allowance, fuel responsibility and damage arrangements in writing before committing.
Can I manage the route?
Delivery work can involve repeated loading, stairs and carrying parcels as well as driving. Depot-based routes begin at the depot, so the commute needs to work for the start of the shift.
Courses & training
Match training to the vehicle
Car, van and truck jobs have different licence requirements. Car-based delivery does not call for a truck-driving course. Employer induction covers routes, delivery procedures and the equipment used for the role.
Where can I apply?

Track my applicationsPizza delivery: Domino’s pay basis
Domino’s Australian recruitment FAQ says team members are paid under the Fast Food Industry Award. For an adult aged 21 or over at Level 1, the ordinary minimum is $27.81/hour permanent or $34.76/hour casual. The casual Saturday and Sunday rate is $41.72/hour. Casual figures already include loading; super is additional.
These are award minimums from 1 July 2026, checked 23 October 2026, rather than a store’s advertised offer. Age, classification and employment type matter. Own-vehicle costs and applicable delivery allowances should be considered separately.

Supermarket delivery and app work
A verified current Coles delivery rate is not available in this guide. Its employment agreement and the specific role determine pay; the freight rate below should not be used as a Coles estimate. For app-based contracting, compare receipts after fuel, insurance, maintenance and unpaid waiting with all hours committed, rather than treating delivery revenue as an employee wage.
Freight-delivery benchmark
For employee freight-delivery work covered by the Road Transport and Distribution Award, a driver of a rigid vehicle up to 4.5 tonnes GVM is Grade 2. The ordinary adult casual rate is $34.39 an hour.
| Role / shift | Hourly pay |
|---|---|
| Grade 2 — vehicle up to 4.5 tonnes GVM | $34.39 |
Adult award rates effective from 1 July 2026, before tax and excluding super. Casual loading is included. Coverage matters: pizza delivery, supermarket delivery and app-based contracting are not automatically covered by this freight award.
