Top Tips For Moving Within Australia

If you’re moving from one place to another within Australia, just because you’re not leaving the country doesn’t mean your move will be any less stressful. So let us take you through what to expect as you transfer your belongings from A to B.

• Don’t rely on a man with a van. Seek out a professional service. We are sure there are some great independent removal men and women out there but you need a company who has a proven track record and a strong online presence. These are your treasured possessions we’re talking about.

• As soon as you know when you’ll be moving, start packing! It’s much better to pack over a period of time rather than rushing towards the end. It will only lead to confusion and possible damage if you’re not paying enough attention. If your boxes are making a considerable journey, state-to-state for instance, every fragile item and electronic piece of equipment needs to be wrapped, double-wrapped and taped up securely – as well as being inserted into a space where it cannot move around. Oh and make sure the boxes are robust – don’t reuse old boxes, they may not withstand the journey.

• Remember to let everyone where you’re going – not just friends and family. Alert your the tax office, the electoral roll, Australia Post and any healthcare organisations. Perhaps take advantage of Australia Post’s redirection service. In addition, remember to let people know you’re leaving your old address such as insurance companies, telephone companies, and internet service and energy providers.

• Different states in Australia have different laws, so make sure you’re aware of any changes. For instance, if you’re taking your car across states, make sure it’s registered to your new address.

• Any important documentation or valuable items should probably be boxed up and brought across Oz by you personally. Nothing’s going to happen, of course not, but it’s just for peace of mind.
