Update your address details

Advise all service providers of your new address including the banks, insurance, drivers licence, electoral commission and arrange a mail redirection for at least 3 months through Australia Post.

Arrange cleaners

For your new home before you move in and your previous home after moving out.

Start packing items and disassembling furniture

Packing can make or break your move so allow plenty of time. Start packing about a week before you move, beginning with the items rarely used (such as books, dvds, garage) and finish the night before with the most frequently used items (such as the kitchen). Any furniture you can live without should be disassembled in advance and screws etc stored carefully. Get more tips about packing up your house to move….
