Moving Home Checklist

Confirm your moving date with Aussie
Get rid of anything you don’t want to be moved
If needed, book time off from work for the moving date
If needed, make arrangements for child minding and pet sitting for the removal date
If you are packing yourself, purchase moving boxes and supplies.
Arrange mail forwarding to your new address with the Post Office.
Prepare a list of friends, businesses, and personal accounts that need to be notified about your move.
Make an inventory of your belongings.

Anything that isn’t absolutely essential should be packed. Try to label boxes with their destination room.
Be conscious of the food you buy from this point onwards. Make sure to cook all frozen food – you do not want to transport this during the move.
Contact your doctor and dentist to get copies of all records and arrange to transfer files to the new health care providers.
Contact your insurance provider to update your home insurance, car insurance and other policies you may have.
If you do not think all items will fit into your new house at first, you could book a storage unit with us to hold some of your belongings until there is space for them.
Book a parking suspension or speak to neighbours to make sure there will be a space outside your home for the moving van.

Confirm with the solicitor and estate agents that the move is going to plan.
Pack valuables and important documents in a safe place to take in the car with you.
Finish up any packing. Make sure to pack a bag/box of essentials such as a change of clothes, blankets, snacks and toiletries so that you don’t need to rummage through all of your boxes on the first night in your new home.
Find out when you will receive the keys to your new home.

Strip the beds and take down curtains.
Disconnect any appliances that you are taking with you e.g the cooker, washing machine, dishwasher.
Keep any essential boxes separate so that they don’t get packed away.
Give the crew your instructions on what is moving and what is not.
Leave all the sets of keys as arranged for the new owners.
Check the house over, complete a walk around with the crew and relax. We’ll take care of the rest.
