Is it even possible to move interstate during the COVID-19 pandemic?

With the property market booming and with everyone buying and moving interstate, we’ve put together some tips and information to help you relocate safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. So, if you're getting ready to move interstate, carry on reading.

Following COVID-19 guidelines

A good removalist company will be familiar with the latest COVID-19 guidelines and will act accordingly. As such, they'll ensure all sanitising, masks, and social distancing measures are in place for the move and will have trained and experienced staff on hand to help.

It’s worth mentioning that COVID-19 measures will vary depending on the area you’re moving to. If you're moving from a high-risk area to a low-risk area, you may need to quarantine first.

Visit the QLD Government website for regulations, border restrictions and further information about travelling interstate.

How to cross borders safely when moving interstate

Removalist trucks are allowed to cross borders here in Australia, including those that have strict border security and safety measures in place. However, you may be required to complete a Cross-Border Registration form first and provide evidence of your relocation.

Why is it important to use an Interstate Removalist Company when moving interstate?

  1. Removalists are the experts: Not only do they know how to pack and sort all your belongings, but they’re also aware of the ways to protect fragile items and how to move heavier items like fridges and washing machines.
  2. Put simply, a removalist company will give you peace of mind as they’ll take care of everything - from putting it all on trucks to unloading your belongings at the new destination.
  3. You won’t have to burden (or bribe) your family and friends to do it!
  4. Nothing will get broken or damaged along the way as it will be packed and stored properly.

What happens if we enter another COVID-19 lockdown while moving?

If you’re in the process of moving and another lockdown is enforced, the move can still take place, but additional precautionary measures will need to be enforced. It would also be worth considering pushing the moving date back. Although the choice is yours, do keep in touch with your local removalists so that they can advise you accordingly.

Our 5 Top Tips for moving interstate during COVID-19

  1. Use hand sanitiser frequently.
  2. Trust the removalists to do their job by not assisting with the move.
  3. Make sure you book a qualified and expert removal company.
  4. If you’re not feeling well, then make sure you let the removalist know as soon as possible to reschedule.
  5. Don’t touch your face after moving any cardboard boxes.
