Move to an apartment that has parcel lockers in the building or has reception area that can take your parcels for you.
Not sure if you’re an owner or renter, either way you could bring it up with the body corporate or landlord, requesting parcel lockers for the building.
If you’re an owner you could see if other owners are interested, in which case everyone could chip in for a parcel locker area (mail box upgrade). If most people aren’t keen it could be a case of those interested pay for the upgrade but have permission from bc to do the work/use the space. If renting it’s unlikely your landlord will be bothered - but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
Alternatively is there a neighbour you trust who is home a lot? Or a friend/family member you see a lot who’s address you can use. Work address depending on your situation may also be an option.
Safest option is AusPost Parcel Locker. Else move house to a building with 24/7 security that picks up parcels or stay/have someone else stay at home.
