The delivery prompted evacuation of the Greens' SA headquarters on Tuesday, a day after the first envelope containing powder and a threat was received.
The powder was tested and found not to be a dangerous chemical, a police spokesperson told AAP.
Staff did not open the second envelope which arrived on Tuesday addressed to Senator Hanson-Young with similar handwriting.
Police also cleared it of any danger.
The South Australian senator, who was returned at Saturday's election, has not detailed what was in the note in the first envelope but has confirmed it was directed at her.
She labelled the person who sent it an "idiot".
"It was white powder with a pretty serious threat attached," she told ABC radio on Tuesday.
"Everyone is fine. The staff are fine but of course, it's not a nice thing for those staff on the front line who receive the mail to have to deal with.
"Whoever did this well, frankly, they're an idiot."
