Australia, recognized as a sovereign nation, ranks as the sixth-largest country globally by land area, spanning 7,741,220 square kilometers. Despite its vast expanse, Australia sustains a relatively low population density, with approximately 23 million inhabitants, translating to merely three individuals per square kilometer. The name "Australia" originates from the Latin phrase 'Terra Australia Incognito,' signifying the Unknown Southern Land. Serving as both the capital and largest city, Canberra is the focal point of Australia, where English stands as the official national language. The Australian dollar (AUD) is the country's official currency.

How we provide help when moving to Australia

We assist our customers emigrating to Australia with their moving needs providing both airfreight and sea shipping methods.

Air freight is convenient for smaller shipments if you for example are moving to Australia for a year and don't need to ship furniture. Considering the cost of moving to Australia, opting for sea freight for shipping furniture and larger amounts of household goods proves to be the most budget-friendly choice. Shipping household goods to Australia by sea has an approximate transit time of about 10-14 weeks from loading to delivery.

To facilitate the move process, we advise reaching out to us at least 6 weeks before your anticipated move date. This time frame provides us enough time for the necessary planning and preparations.

Requirements to move to Australia

When planning a move to Australia, it's crucial to ensure your visa is received and all customs paperwork is in order before shipping your household goods from origin. You can also find detailed customs information on importing household goods from this link as provided by the FIDI association, the largest global alliance of international moving and relocation companies. 

To provide you with the most accurate cost to move to Australia we'll arrange a pre-move survey to estimate the volume of your belongings, assess accessibility of your home, and pinpoint any delicate items that might require special handling or packing materials.

Additionally, we'll offer assistance and information on customs documentation and quarantine requirements to move to Australia. Whether relocating to Australia with family or by yourself, count on us for a stress free moving experience.
