Moving to Australia
What to plan for when moving to Australia
- Australia's biosecurity (quarantine) rules are strict — outdoor equipment, garden tools, bikes and sports gear must be thoroughly cleaned before packing.
- A detailed inventory is essential; Australian authorities inspect many incoming household shipments.
- Professional packing is strongly recommended for Australia — it simplifies inspection and reduces the risk of items being held.
- Because of the distance, most households ship by ocean; your specialist explains the options for your volume and timing.
