Where We Move
We run interstate removals from Melbourne to the major east coast and southern capitals, and across to Western Australia. These are our confirmed routes, and they run in both directions.
We also bring loads back into Melbourne and regional Victoria, and can quote moves between other states when a truck is already scheduled that way. If your destination is not on this list, ask us and we will tell you honestly whether we can cover it.
Melbourne to Sydney / NSW
Melbourne to Sydney is one of our confirmed interstate routes. We move full households, part loads and offices from anywhere in Melbourne through to Sydney and regional New South Wales.
Sydney addresses often come with access conditions worth flagging early: narrow inner-city streets, apartment loading docks, and lift bookings that have to be reserved with building management. Tell us about the building at both ends when you enquire and we will plan the crew and the truck around it.
Melbourne to Brisbane / QLD
Melbourne to Brisbane is one of our confirmed interstate routes. We collect from anywhere across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, and deliver into Brisbane and throughout Queensland.
We move full households, part loads and offices on this run. Whether you are taking an entire home or only the furniture from a couple of rooms, the load is wrapped and packed for the distance rather than treated like a job across town.
Brisbane addresses are worth describing when you enquire. Apartment buildings usually need a lift booking arranged through building management, and older Queenslanders often have stairs, a steep driveway or narrow side access that changes how long unloading takes. Tell us what we are walking into at both ends and we will plan the crew and the truck space around it.
What the move costs comes down to how much is going, the access at each address and what you need us to do. We confirm the price with you before anything is booked.
Melbourne to Gold Coast / QLD
Melbourne to the Gold Coast is a confirmed route, and it runs alongside our Brisbane work in south-east Queensland. We take households, part loads and office relocations.
A good share of Gold Coast deliveries go into apartments and high-rise buildings, which usually means a lift booking, a loading dock with set access hours, and building management wanting paperwork from the removalist before the day. Arrange that as soon as your date is confirmed and tell us what the building needs, because a missed lift booking can cost you the slot.
We do not put a delivery date on the job until we have your inventory and your dates. Once the booking is confirmed we give you a delivery window to plan around.
Melbourne to Adelaide / SA
Melbourne to Adelaide is one of our shorter interstate runs and one of our confirmed routes. We move households, part loads and offices in both directions.
Because the distance is shorter than the east coast runs, this route often suits customers with a smaller load or more flexible dates, and it is a common one for backloading. If you are moving a couple of rooms rather than a whole house, say so at the quote stage and we will tell you whether sharing space on a scheduled run is worth considering.
What matters most is the same as any interstate job: what is going, the access at both ends, and your dates. Send us a room-by-room list and we will work from that.
Melbourne to Perth / WA
Melbourne to Perth is our longest confirmed route, and it is the one that needs the most notice. Interstate runs are scheduled around a route rather than a single job, and the Perth run in particular is planned well ahead, so book as early as you can if your dates matter.
Packing needs to be firmer for a run this long. The load spends more time in transit and is handled more often than it would be on a local move, so we use strong cartons, fill the gaps so nothing shifts, and wrap furniture properly before it goes on the truck.
Decide early what is actually going. Interstate transport is worked out on the space and weight your load takes up, so anything you sell or donate before we quote is something you are not paying to move across the country.
We do not publish a transit time for this route. Once we have your inventory and your dates, and the booking is confirmed, we give you a delivery window.
Moving Interstate from Melbourne
Moving interstate from Melbourne is a longer job than a local relocation, so we plan it differently. We confirm what is going, work out the truck space and crew you need, and lock in a pickup date that fits the handover at your new place.
We collect from anywhere across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. If you are also comparing a local option, our Melbourne removalist team covers moves within the city, and our Victoria removalists page covers the wider state.
Moving into Melbourne and Victoria
The run works in both directions. We bring households and offices back into Melbourne and Victoria from the states we cover, so if you are moving down from Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Adelaide or Perth, we can handle the delivery end.
Having a Melbourne crew at the delivery end helps more than people expect. Permit parking, clearway hours, booked lifts and the difference between an inner suburb terrace and an outer suburb driveway are things we deal with every week.
We deliver right across metropolitan Melbourne, and out to regional Victoria as well. If your move is within the city rather than into it, our Melbourne removalist page covers local jobs, and for destinations elsewhere in the state see Victoria removalists.
Interstate Moves Between Other States
Our scheduled runs are built around Melbourne, so a move that does not touch Victoria is not a standing service. We can sometimes quote one when a truck is already going that way and there is space on the run.
If you are moving between two other states, ask us. We will look at where our trucks are scheduled and tell you honestly whether we can cover it, rather than taking the booking and working it out later.
What an Interstate Move Costs
We quote interstate moves individually rather than from a rate card, because two jobs on the same route can be very different.
What changes the price
- How much is going — interstate transport is worked out on the space and weight your load takes up
- Access at both ends — stairs, lifts, long carries from the truck to the door, and docks that have to be booked
- The route and the distance
- Dedicated truck or backload — sharing space on a run we already have scheduled
- Your dates, and how much flexibility you have around them
- What you want us to handle — packing, unpacking, or storage at the Melbourne end
For an indicative figure before you call, try our interstate moving cost calculator. If you want to understand what drives the cost of a move more generally, our guide to moving costs in Melbourne goes through the main factors. Either way, we confirm your price with you before anything is booked.
Both addresses, your preferred dates and a rough room-by-room list are enough to start. We quote every interstate move individually and confirm the price with you before anything is booked.
Backloading
Backloading means your goods share space on a run we already have scheduled, rather than you paying for a truck of your own. Our trucks do not travel back empty, so filling that space is usually the cheapest way to move interstate.
It tends to suit smaller loads, part loads, and customers with some flexibility around dates. If you are moving a couple of rooms rather than a whole house, it is worth asking about.
It is not always available. Backloading depends on which routes we have scheduled, how much space is left on that run, and whether the timing lines up with your move, so we cannot promise it for every job.
If your dates are fixed and cannot shift, a dedicated truck is the safer choice. Tell us your dates and roughly what is going when you enquire, and we will tell you whether a backload is an option for your move.
Storage Between Pickup and Delivery
Settlement dates and lease ends do not always line up with a delivery window, and on an interstate move that gap can be longer than people expect. If there is one, we can store your belongings in Melbourne until you are ready to take delivery.
Storage is available at our Melbourne end only. We do not provide storage in the destination state, so if you need somewhere to keep your goods after they have been delivered interstate, that has to be arranged locally at your end.
Tell us at the quote stage if a gap is likely, even if you are not certain yet. It changes how the load is packed and how we schedule the run, and building it into the plan early is far simpler than arranging it once the truck is loaded.
Transit Times and Delivery Windows
We do not publish fixed transit times, and we will not give you a delivery date before we know enough to stand behind it.
How long your move takes depends on the route, the size of your load, whether you are on a dedicated truck or sharing space on a scheduled run, the access at both ends, and where your job sits in the schedule. A number quoted before those are known is a guess, and a guessed date is worse than no date when you are organising a handover, utilities and time off work.
We give you a delivery window once we have your inventory and your dates and the booking is confirmed. We stay contactable while your goods are in transit, so you can call and ask where things are rather than waiting to be told.
Insurance and Transit Cover
We provide fully guaranteed transit insurance to protect your goods throughout the move. Full cover details and policy terms are confirmed directly at booking.
Planning Your Interstate Move
Timing and Notice
The more notice you give us, the more choice you have over pickup and delivery dates. Interstate runs are scheduled around a route rather than a single job, so booking early gives us more room to match the dates you want. Tell us your settlement or lease dates at both ends and we will build the plan around them.
Access at Both Ends
Access decides how long loading and unloading takes, and it is the detail most often left out. Let us know about stairs, lifts, driveway width, parking restrictions and any loading dock that has to be booked at either address. If we know beforehand, we bring the right crew and equipment instead of solving it on the day.
What Is Going and What Is Staying
Interstate transport is worked out on space and weight, so anything you are not taking is worth deciding early. Sorting, selling or donating before we quote keeps the load accurate and stops you paying to move things you do not want. Send us a room-by-room list and we will work from that.
Preparing Your Belongings
Pack for Distance, Not Just for the Trip
Interstate loads spend longer in transit and are handled more often than a local move, so packing needs to be firmer. Use strong boxes, fill the gaps so nothing shifts, and keep box weights manageable. If you would rather not do it yourself, we can take care of the packing and wrapping as part of the job.
Set Aside Your Essentials
Pack a separate bag or box with what you need immediately: medication, chargers, documents, tools, a change of clothes and anything for children or pets. Keep it with you rather than on the truck so you are not waiting on delivery for the basics.
Prepare Furniture and Larger Items
We disassemble and wrap furniture, protect mattresses and cover soft furnishings before loading. Empty the drawers, take out loose glass and shelving, and tell us about anything heavy or awkward such as a piano, a safe or a large appliance so we bring the right gear. Our furniture removalists page explains how we handle bigger pieces.
How Your Interstate Move Works
Tell us about the move
You send us the pickup and delivery addresses, your preferred dates and a rough inventory. Photos or a room-by-room list help. We ask about access at both ends so nothing catches us out later.
Quote and scheduling
We come back with a quote covering the crew, the truck space and what is included. Once you accept it we book your pickup date and confirm the delivery window so you know what you are planning around.
Pickup and transport
Our crew wraps and protects your furniture, loads the truck and checks the inventory with you before leaving. Your goods then travel to the destination state as scheduled, and you have someone you can call while they are in transit.
Delivery and placement
We deliver within the agreed window, put furniture in the rooms you want, reassemble what we took apart and clear away the packing debris. We walk through the property with you before we finish.
Household, Office and Furniture Moves
Household Moves
Most of our interstate work is full households: furniture, whitegoods, boxes and everything in the garage. We handle the packing, loading, transport and placement at the other end. Our house removalists page covers how we approach a full home relocation.
Office and Business Moves
We relocate offices interstate as well, including desks, workstations, filing, server racks and other equipment. Business moves are usually scheduled around your quiet period so you can trade again quickly. See our office removalists service for how we plan a commercial relocation.
Furniture and Part Loads
Not every interstate job is a whole house. We also move single rooms, individual pieces and part loads, which often pair well with backloading. Our furniture removalists team handles the wrapping, disassembly and reassembly.
Why Choose Apex Moving

We are contactable while your goods are in transit, and we are open every day if you need to reach us. You can see the full range of work we take on across our removal services.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are interstate removalists?
Interstate removalists move household or business belongings between Australian states. That usually means furniture, appliances, boxes and personal items travelling a much longer distance than a local move, with the packing, loading, transport and delivery handled as one job.
Do you offer interstate removals from Melbourne?
Yes. We run interstate removals out of Melbourne for households, part loads and offices, and we also bring loads back into Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Which interstate routes do you cover?
Our confirmed routes are Melbourne to Sydney, Melbourne to Brisbane, Melbourne to the Gold Coast, Melbourne to Adelaide and Melbourne to Perth. We can sometimes quote moves between other states as well, depending on where our trucks are scheduled. If your route is not listed, ask us and we will tell you whether we can cover it.
Can you move us into Melbourne or regional Victoria from interstate?
Yes. We move households and offices into Melbourne and regional Victoria from interstate. Having a local crew at the delivery end means parking restrictions, building access and the suburbs are already familiar.
How much does an interstate move cost?
It depends on how much you are moving, the distance, the access at both ends, and whether you want a dedicated truck or a backload on a run we have already scheduled. Our interstate moving cost calculator gives you an estimate, and we confirm your price with you before anything is booked.
What is backloading, and is it right for my move?
Backloading means your goods share space on a run we already have scheduled instead of you paying for a truck of your own. It is usually the cheapest way to move interstate and it suits smaller loads and flexible dates. If your dates are fixed, a dedicated truck is the safer choice.
How long will my interstate move take?
That depends on the route, the size of your load, and whether you are on a dedicated truck or sharing space on a scheduled run. We do not put a transit time on your move until we have your inventory and your dates, because anything earlier is a guess. Once your booking is confirmed we give you a delivery window.
Can you store my belongings between pickup and delivery?
We can store your belongings in Melbourne while you wait. Storage is available at our Melbourne end only, so if you need storage after delivery in the destination state you will need to arrange that locally.
How far in advance should I book an interstate move?
As early as you can. Interstate runs are scheduled around a route rather than a single job, so the more notice you give us the more choice you have over pickup and delivery dates. The Perth run in particular is planned well ahead.
Can you move offices and businesses interstate, not just households?
Yes. We relocate offices interstate as well as households, including desks, workstations, filing and equipment. We also move single rooms, individual furniture pieces and part loads.
What do you need from me to quote an interstate move?
The pickup and delivery addresses, your preferred dates, and a rough inventory of what is going. Photos or a room-by-room list help. Tell us about access at both ends too, including stairs, lifts, driveway width and any loading dock that has to be booked.
