Moving Tips Part 1/4: Who do you need to notify/call?

• Organise your landlord or agent with rental or settlement dates and keep their phone numbers handy. A good agent can help make the move smoother.
• It is a good idea to take out special comprehensive insurance for scratch, dent and breakage. With our insurers, Associated Marine Insurers, you can extend the cover you already have. Call 1800 009 796 for a quote or you can extend your own household cover.
• Book time off work allowing plenty of time to unpack and settle in before returning.
• Obtain copies of your medical records, including your dentist, veterinarian and vaccine/immunisation information.
• Contact your children’s school to get a copy of their school records.
• Set up a temporary redirection of your mail with Australia Post.
• Advise the following of your change of address:

• Council
• Bank
• Doctor
• School
• Solicitor
• Accountant
• Motor Vehicle/Transport Department

• Cancel the window cleaner, milkman, delivery of newspapers, firewood and gas etc
• Ensure all the services you require at the new address are advised of the date you require them, for example telephone, internet, electricity and gas.
• If you need a few weeks to get things ready before delivery, give Advance Removals a call. We can organise some storage for you, or better-still we can go the long way around to save you the cost of redelivery.
