When it comes to interstate moves, it is best to call in the professionals.
Moving interstate is stressful enough without having to move all your belongings yourself.
The drive from Melbourne to Sydney is over nine hours, while Melbourne to Brisbane is over 18 hours.
The trip from Melbourne to Perth has to be completed over multiple days given it takes over 36 hours.
That is a long time in a self-rented van or truck and you also need to allow significant time to load and unload the van or truck at either end of your move.
The risk of damage to your household items is also greater on a long interstate move than a local move, which is another reason to leave the job to the professionals with the right equipment and know-how.
Many people will already have multiple cars to move interstate at the same time, as well as children and pets.
If you are moving interstate from Melbourne, make sure you leave the job of moving all your possessions to professionals.
A professional removalist company has the personnel, skills, equipment and insurance to compete the job safely, efficiently and on time.
It will also take a large weight off your shoulders.

Whether you are preparing to move from Melbourne to Sydney, Melbourne to Brisbane or Melbourne to Perth, there are a few ways that you can make the task a little easier.
Being organised is key to any move, not least a big interstate move from Melbourne.
Plan ahead and create a checklist of things to do.
One of the first items on your checklist should be to book professional interstate removalists, while you are also going to need to source packing supplies and start packing as soon as possible.
The less items you have to transport, the cheaper your interstate removalist service could be and the less time it will take you to pack.
Therefore, be sure to declutter your current house as you go.
Any items you no longer need, no longer use or that are broken should either be donated to charity, given to family or friends or thrown out with the rubbish or recycling.
From there, it can be a good idea to start packing one room at a time, starting with a less-commonly used room.
You are also going to need to change your address and contact information on all your banking, insurance, services, government and utilities accounts to reflect your new interstate address.
