Top Art Removals related questions
Shipping artwork in Australia generally costs $80 to $400, depending on the size, fragility, distance, and whether any custom packing is needed. Large or high-value pieces (especially those requiring crating or climate-controlled transport) can go upwards of $600. Many Airtasker removalists offer competitive local rates, making it a budget-friendly way to move individual artworks or collections.
Yes, most artwork purchases in Australia are subject to 10% GST. Imported art may also attract duties or taxes depending on its value, type, and origin. Original artworks, antiques, and limited-edition prints each fall under specific tax rules, so it’s worth double-checking with the ATO if you’re unsure about your particular item or transaction.
A reasonable budget for art removals in Australia typically ranges from $100 to $350 for local moves involving a few pieces. Costs increase for fragile, oversized, or high-value items that need specialised packing or multiple removalists. If you’re arranging gallery deliveries, expect to factor in protective materials, extra handling time, or custom crating.
A professional art courier service is a specialist trained to pack, handle, and transport artworks with extra care. They use protective wrapping, secure tie-down methods, and suitable vehicles to ensure paintings, prints, and sculptures stay safe throughout the move. Art courier businesses are often used by artists, galleries, and collectors who need added peace of mind during transport.
Keep an eye out for removalists who show up without proper packing materials, offer vague or shifting pricing, rush through the job, or refuse to explain how they’ll protect your artwork. Reliable art removalists communicate clearly, bring the right gear, and take their time handling fragile items. If something feels off, trust your gut and look for a Tasker with strong reviews and proven experience.

What do art removals services include?
Art removals on Airtasker typically include all the essentials needed to transport your artwork safely and securely. From local moving to gallery deliveries, you’ll find removalists who understand the unique care fine art requires.
Here’s what’s typically included in an art removals service:
Packing and protective wrapping for artwork
Professional art removalists know that proper packing is half the job of art logistics solutions. If needed, you can ask your Taskers to provide packing and protective wrapping on top of your art moving service.
This may include wrapping canvases, framed pieces, sculptures, and mixed-media artworks using acid-free materials, glassine, foam corner protectors, bubble wrap, and other museum-grade supplies with careful detail and quality.
For fragile or high-value items, expert art handlers may reinforce artwork with cardboard sleeves or crate-ready padding. These prevent scratches, vibration damage, and moisture exposure during fine art transportation.
Custom art crating and specialised art packaging
For oversized or unusually shaped pieces, you can book Taskers who offer custom crating and white glove delivery for your unique needs. They can build on-the-spot wooden crates, reinforced boxes, or fitted foam housing to keep artwork stable during transit.
This expertise is particularly helpful for sculptures, antiques, installation art, or pieces that require extra structural support or storage for secure transportation. Many private art collectors request custom crating from art handlers when transporting pieces across long distances or shipping items interstate.
Safe artwork loading, transportation, and unloading
Airtasker connects you with artwork removalists who know how to safely load and secure pieces using straps, blankets, anchors, and no-shift positioning. For both local art transport in major cities and interstate removals through regional areas, Taskers can help ensure your items stay protected from bumps, drops, and sudden shifts. They’ll also handle careful unloading, placement, or temporary staging at your destination, which is useful for gallery setups or studio rearrangements.
Artwork installation and setup assistance
If you need help setting up your artwork after the move, you can request installation support when posting your task. Some Taskers may assist with hanging framed pieces, mounting sculptures, or positioning large artworks for display. They may bring levelers, anchors, hooks, and other hardware.
If you need help preparing a space before an exhibit or want assistance placing artwork in your home, you can also find Taskers who can help with the finishing touches.
Handling oversized or delicate art pieces
Fine art removalists on Airtasker can help relocate extra-large canvases, glass artworks, mixed-media pieces, stone sculptures, or fragile vintage items. They can also collaborate with additional Taskers for heavy lifting, coordinate tight hallway navigation, or provide padding and protective barriers for challenging spaces.
If you’re moving other special items like professional pianos, pool tables, or antiques, you can also get help through Airtasker.

Require somebody with a large van or large ute to assist transporting various pieces of furniture and artwork (largest piece is 2.2m x 1.2m) between two offices (South Melbourne to balaclava) Also requires somebody to disassemble various pieces of furniture and remove the debris. I will be coming with you in the van and happy to assist. Suspect it will likely be somewhere between 3 to 5 hours of work. Happy to pay an hourly rate or agree on a fixed amount. Prefer hourly though as it will be more accurate and happy to agree on a rate.
Sensational service, couldn't be happier. Highly recommend
