Melbourne to Hobart removalists
Moving from Melbourne to Hobart? Plan the furniture load, mainland collection and Tasmanian delivery together, then check the declaration and biosecurity requirements before packing.
Plan your Melbourne to Hobart move.
Give AA the Melbourne pickup address, the date the property must be cleared and the earliest time the Hobart address can receive delivery. Separate outdoor equipment, plants and other goods that may need declaration or inspection so the transport scope can be assessed.
Tell us what is moving, whether you need packing and how the crew can access both properties. We will review the details before confirming a quote.
Useful details to send
- Pickup and delivery suburbs
- Preferred collection and delivery dates
- Inventory, photos or a walkthrough
- Stairs, lifts, parking and any bulky items
Prepare the Tasmanian declaration before the load leaves
Personal effects form
Biosecurity Tasmania requires a personal effects declaration for permanent moves. The applicable form depends on whether a removalist transports the goods or you move them yourself.
Come in clean
Clean outdoor furniture, tools, recreational gear and other equipment so it is free from soil, seeds, insects and plant material. Set questionable items aside for a current biosecurity check.
Hobart delivery
Share the delivery address, key handover date, legal truck position and any building booking. Confirm the delivery window before arranging access that allows only a short time.
For more detail, see the interstate moving guide and moving cost guide.
Declare personal effects before they enter Tasmania.
Biosecurity Tasmania says people moving permanently to the state must lodge an accurate personal effects declaration before their belongings are imported. Its household goods guidance also explains that some items may be inspected on request. Check the current form and item rules before packing, and ask AA how they apply to the proposed transport arrangement.
