Why choose Austate for your Brisbane – Canberra move
What’s included in the move?
Every move has the same foundation - we help you move your things safely and effectively from one place to another. But at Austate, we provide a number of extra services as well that can include storage, full or partial packing and unpacking, furniture assembly and disassembly, backloading for flexible and cost-effective transport, and transit insurance.
Choose which services you need or even what would be really nice to have. Then, simply fill out our free quote form and we'll put together an accurate quote tailored to your move, with no hidden fees. We'll only include what you actually need, so you know exactly what you're paying for from the outset.
It's also worth knowing that Austate Removals is a licensed removals insurance provider, which many removalists aren't. That means we can arrange proper transit insurance for your belongings directly, giving you genuine peace of mind rather than a workaround through a third party or no actual insurance at all.
How our moving process works
The benefit of moving with Austate Removals is that you’re always dealing directly with your removalist - from start to finish. That means you're in control: you can discuss your quote, confirm booking times, and talk through the details of your move directly with our team, without going through a middleman. This is different from some of the removalist platforms you may also be looking at. With us, you’re always speaking with one of our team.
Our process works like this:
- Start with a free quote - Tell us about your move and we'll put together a personalised, no-obligation quote based on your needs.
- Discuss dates and options with the team - Speak directly with us about your preferred dates, load size, and which optional services you'd like included.
- Choose your packing option - Decide whether you'd like full-service packing, help with fragile items only, packing supplies provided or DIY packing. It's entirely up to you.
- Add storage if you need it - If your move-out and move-in dates don't line up, we can move your belongings into secure storage and hold them until you're ready.
- Moving day - Our trained team arrives, carefully loads your belongings (including any specialty items), and transports them safely to Canberra, or into storage if that's part of your plan.
- Delivery to your new home - Your belongings are delivered straight to your new address in Canberra, or released from storage once you're ready to move in.
- Optional unpacking - If you've chosen a full-service move, our team will unpack and help you settle into your new home.
Because you're working directly with us at every step, you can adjust dates, add or remove services, and ask questions at any point in the process, rather than being locked into a fixed package from the outset.
