You can also check the related services they offer, such as assembly, packing or unpacking, and furniture repairs.

Top Brisbane to Cairns Removals related questions
People often move to Cairns from Brisbane to distance themselves from the busy life of the city. City life can get stressful and overwhelming. In Cairns, people have access to fresher air, more space, and, on occasion, cheaper overall cost of living. The beach, nature, and a family-friendly home are what people look forward to when moving to Cairns because they're all within reach, just a few minutes drive away.
Brisbane to Cairns removals would cost around $2,500 to $9,500+. These costs are based on the distances, the items, and the schedule of the move. Depending on the entire process, and things like long-distance and interstate moving, the costs really can change. For moving interstate, meal costs, multiple refuels, and toll fees can add up to the moving costs.
According to Airtasker’s data, January sees the highest volume of moves from Brisbane, while September sees the lowest. The drier summer season is usually ideal for an interstate move, as there are fewer inclement weather factors to hinder the long-distance move. Note that November to March in Cairns is summer or the wet season, which brings about rainfall that may make moving more difficult.
Most Brisbane to Cairns removalists bring standard equipment like hand trucks, trolleys, straps, and moving blankets, but what else they provide depends on your specific move and what you’ve agreed on. When posting your task, be clear about what you’re moving and ask upfront if they supply packing materials, furniture disassembly tools, or protective covers for specialty items.
Include how many rooms you’re moving, whether there are stairs at either property, any oversized or fragile items that need extra care, and your preferred moving dates. Add photos of your furniture so removalists can assess the job accurately, and mention parking availability and access restrictions at both your Brisbane to Cairns addresses.Â
Pack fragile items with bubble wrap and packing papers, use sturdy boxes, and label everything clearly so your Brisbane to Cairns removalist knows what needs extra care. Fill empty spaces in boxes with inflatable air bags, peanut foam, or towels to prevent items from shifting, and disassemble furniture where possible to minimise the risk of damage.
Packing and unpacking services are often available but not always included in the base quote, so it's important to specify what you need when posting your task. Costs vary depending on the volume of items, materials required, and time involved, which is why confirming these details upfront helps you get accurate quotes.
Rubbish removal and furniture disposal aren't typically part of standard moving services, but many Taskers can handle it if you ask. When posting your task, mention if you need old furniture, boxes, or unwanted items cleared out before or after your move. You can also book rubbish removal or furniture disposal as separate services on Airtasker if you prefer to coordinate everything at once.

What does Brisbane to Cairns removals include?
Over 2000 people moved to Cairns in 2024 alone. The great weather, outdoor activities, beaches, and a quieter life are just some of the reasons people decide to live in Cairns. It's more than just a tourist spot, it's a place you can call home. So if you're ready for your move from Brisbane to Cairns, Airtasker is here to help with everything from furniture removalists to hassle free interstate backloading.
Every month, Airtasker records 2,000+ removals tasks in Brisbane, with 500+ verified removalists actively completing them. So if you’re booking a Brisbane to Cairns move, you can feel confident that there’s no shortage of skilled Taskers who can handle moves just like yours.
With an average rating of 4.3 stars for removals tasks completed in Brisbane, these professionals have established a reputation for providing reliable, meticulous, and consistent service. Since every move is different, Brisbane to Cairns removalists offer a range of different services depending on what you’re moving and how you prefer it handled. But most of the time, this service typically includes:
Moving furniture from Brisbane to Cairns
Your booked Brisbane to Cairns removalist will handle the physical work of getting your furniture from one city to another. They may use trolleys, dollies, and straps to safely move heavy or awkward pieces and keep everything secure over the long trip. Then, they plan the unload based on where you’re headed in Cairns. For instance, a ground-floor access in Babinda gets packed differently from a third-floor walk-up in Cairns North or a steep driveway in Portsmith.
Before the move, many Brisbane to Cairns removalists also offer furniture disassembly services if your bed frame or wardrobe won’t fit through the door assembled. And once you arrive in Cairns, they may even help reassemble everything, as long as this extra task is communicated to them beforehand.Â
Some customers also book an end-of-lease cleaning service at your property, a move-in cleaning for your new place, or a handyman to help with any small repairs after the move.
Moving appliances from Brisbane to Cairns
Your Brisbane to Cairns removals service may also include moving your appliances, such as fridges, washing machines, and dishwashers. These appliances have coils, compressors, and electrical components that can be damaged if they’re not properly disconnected, secured, and transported, so it’s crucial to leave this task to a pro.Â
Your Brisbane to Cairns removalist can even help position your appliances correctly, be it in your new apartment in Kewarra Beach or a new house in Yorkeys Knob. And if you need help with the reconnection or installation of your appliances, it would be more ideal to book electricians for safe wiring or plumbers for water line hookups on Airtasker.Â
Moving fragile items from Brisbane to Cairns
Another key service that you may request from your Brisbane to Cairns removalist is moving items that are fragile, valuable, and hard to replace. It could be your grand piano that your kids learned on, a pool table that’s hosted countless games with your friends, or gym equipment you’ve built your routine around. We all know that these pieces can't just be thrown in the back of a truck.
Removalists who specialise in fragile items use thick moving blankets, custom padding, and secure strapping to protect against jolts and vibration during transport. Whether you’re moving into Yorkeys Knob or Aeroglen, they handle the heavy lifting and careful placement so your items arrive intact. You can also explore home gym ideas on Airtasker to prepare your space before you move, or book pool table assemblers to get everything set up once you’re settled.
Organising a backload from Brisbane to Cairns
Backloading means you’re filling spare truck space on a route the removalist is already driving, which significantly cuts your costs. Since it relies on regular trips, it’s especially common on busy corridors like Brisbane to Cairns, as well as the Central Coast, Newcastle, and the Gold Coast.
Organising a backload works best if you’re planning smaller moves, like relocating to a dorm in James Cook University with just a bedroom’s worth of stuff. Since it’s way cheaper, it’s also best if you’re relocating on a tight budget, or if you don’t need an entire truckload moved at once. Once you’ve locked in timing with your preferred backloader, they’ll collect your items in Brisbane and drop them off in Cairns, covering areas such as Caravonica, Bentley Park, Earlville, and Manunda.
If you need guaranteed timing or have a full household to move, a dedicated removal truck is the better choice, but for flexibility and cost savings, backloading gets the job done.
