Trusted Removals to and from Australia Regal Moving & Storage

Moving from the UK to Australia requires careful planning to ensure a smooth transition. If you’re relocating permanently or for an extended period, you’ll need a valid visa; this could include skilled migration, family-sponsored, or employer-sponsored options, depending on your situation. It’s also important to apply for a Tax File Number (TFN) shortly after arrival, which is essential for working, opening a bank account, and accessing government services.

Australia's customs regulations require a detailed inventory and declaration of all household goods. Items must meet strict biosecurity standards, and certain belongings such as wooden furniture, outdoor items, and food products may require inspection or treatment. In some cases, you may be eligible to import personal effects duty-free, provided you meet residency requirements and complete the appropriate documentation.

Housing types range from city-centre apartments to spacious suburban homes. In major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, delivery access may be limited due to narrow streets or apartment block regulations. It’s advisable to confirm these details in advance to avoid delays on moving day.
