Moving to Australia?
Australia is a popular international removal location for Brits. Infamously located on the other side of the world, the country is full of sun, sandy beaches, and some of the world’s most incredible wildlife. Relocation to Australia is full of opportunities for new activities, new friends, and new cities to discover, whether in Sydney or somewhere more rural. The way of life is well-known for being laid back, a popular reason cited by expats for their move. And Bishop’s Move can be the helping hand you need during your international removal.
Australia Removals Package
The first step towards a new life on the other side of the world is to get in touch with one of our consultants to discuss your house removal to Australia. Our international removal process begins with a free home moving survey, helping our teams understand exactly what your move will entail. During this survey, we come directly to your home to ascertain your requirements, from export packing to transport and unpacking services to quality removals insurance. From here, we can provide an accurate quotation for your international removal to Australia, as well as answer any of your questions about the process.
The success of an international move is all in the detail, so once you are happy we have all your requirements included and you’ve accepted the quote, we can confirm a date for your move to Australia from the UK.
Transporting Your Belongings to Australia
On what could be an incredibly stressful couple of days for you and your family, our friendly removal staff will be on hand every step of the way. On the day your move begins, our professionally trained packing teams will meet you at your home to start packing up your belongings in preparation for removal to Australia. They will handle every item with care, packing and wrapping using our quality packing materials, even your most prized and fragile possessions. We’ll then have all of your effects securely transported across the world to your new home and delivered straight to your door down under.

You must also prove that you have owned your items for longer than 12 months and that the items are intended for personal use only. You will need to check import requirements to ensure there is nothing in your shipment that is prohibited. Your removals team will also be on hand to guide you with this.

This means that a number of items are prohibited as personal effects, including: Fresh fruit and vegetables; live plants, cuttings and bulbs; prohibitied and unidentified seeds; live animals that require an import permit; soiled goods; wooden items with an insect infestation.
