Interstate Removalists Melbourne
We move households and businesses interstate from Melbourne, and we bring people the other way into Victoria. Whether you are relocating for work, moving closer to family, or shifting an office to another state, we plan the job around your dates and stay in contact from pickup through to delivery.
If you want a sense of the cost before you call, try our interstate moving cost calculator. You can also see everything else we handle on our removal services page.
Where We Move
We run interstate removals from Melbourne to the major east coast and southern capitals, as well as across to Western Australia. Our confirmed routes are Melbourne to Sydney, Melbourne to Brisbane, Melbourne to the Gold Coast, Melbourne to Adelaide and Melbourne to Perth.
We also bring loads back into Melbourne and regional Victoria, and we can quote moves between other states when our schedule allows. If your destination is not listed below, 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 Gold Coast / QLD
Melbourne to Adelaide / SA
Melbourne to Perth / WA
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.

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
1. 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.
2. Quote and Scheduling
We come back to you 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.
3. Pickup and Transport
On the day 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.
4. 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 a Melbourne removalist company and interstate work is part of what we do, not a sideline. You deal with the same team from your first enquiry through to delivery, and we confirm your price with you before anything is booked rather than leaving it to be settled on the day.
Our crews wrap and protect your furniture as standard, disassemble and reassemble what needs it, and place everything where you want it at the other end. 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.
