2 BHK house move from Canberra to Melbourne

I’m sooooo thankful to Nick and his team for doing an amazing job!! Our apartment block messed up the booking for the moving elevator so Nick had to arrange for another trip and split our big truck into 2 small trucks so that we could move to our Richmond apartment in the city on a Sunday. He and his team went above and beyond to assist us in moving to our apartment. Very professional and really helpful to get us in our apartment on our day. So really grateful to the team. Highly recommend them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🤩🤩.

John was spot on for everything. Everything was done exactly the way I wanted it done. He picked up my things from Canberra a day before and delivered them the following day to Melbourne before time. Throughout the process he was very communicative and happy to answer any queries that I had. He also was quite reasonable with his quote and also accommodated an extra addition to my luggage. And we both enjoyed a nice breakfast after the job was done :-) I shall surely be referring John in case someone requests a reliable person for moving things.

Why book Canberra to Melbourne removalists through Airtasker?

An interstate relocation from the capital to the bustle of Melbourne is a life-changing decision. The fact that over 142,000 people moved to Melbourne in 2024 shows the prevalence of this relocation trend.

Hauling your fragile and valuable items for hundreds of kilometres isn't just something you can do on your own. It’s a 7-8 hour drive on the M31, after all. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to make it stress-free. This is where Airtasker comes in. Airtasker can help connect you with professional Canberra to Melbourne removals services near you.

Booking your Canberra to Melbourne removalists through Airtasker means you’re hiring someone who’s done this run enough times to know exactly how to pack a truck for 660-700 kilometres of highway. Their profiles show real reviews from previous customers, completion rates that prove they show up, and ID verification. You can also check the related services they offer, such as assembly, packing or unpacking, and furniture repairs.

Get started with the moving process by posting a task. Describe your interstate removals or interstate relocation requests, such as backloading, fragile items, and storage services. Note where you’re moving from and where you’re moving to—the more specific you are, the better. Set your date and budget range, then wait for professional removalists to post their offers.

Top Canberra to Melbourne Removals related questions

Being a cultural capital, Melbourne attracts people from all over due to the city’s great art, amazing music, diverse food scene, and, not to mention, spectacular coffee. Although the cost of living is noticeably higher than in Canberra, the job opportunities and ease of transport make up for it. Moving to Melbourne is a great option for people making the interstate move to experience a rich city life filled with a wealth of opportunities.

An interstate move would cost around $2,500 to $9,500+. The costs would change depending on the distance, the items, and the schedule of the move. If you’re planning an interstate removal, consider meal costs, multiple refuels, and toll fees in your budget. 

Based on Airtasker's data, January has the highest volume of moves from Canberra, while May has 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. Although springtime may seem like a good idea, Spring in Melbourne can bring rain that might make moving a little more difficult.

Most Canberra to Melbourne 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 Canberra to Melbourne addresses. 

Pack fragile items with bubble wrap and packing papers, use sturdy boxes, and label everything clearly so your Canberra to Melbourne 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 Canberra to Melbourne removals include?

The great art, thriving music scene, and exciting food and coffee spots are among the reasons people decide to live in Melbourne. The city also boasts of great transport options for the urban lifestyle that balance work and play quite differently from when you’re in the capital. So if you're ready to move from Canberra to Melbourne, Airtasker is here to help make your interstate move hassle-free with reliable interstate removalists.

Every month, Airtasker records 100+ removals tasks in Canberra, with 50+ verified removalists actively completing them. So if you’re booking a Canberra to Melbourne 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 Canberra, these professionals have established a reputation for providing reliable, meticulous, and consistent service. Since every move is different, Canberra to Melbourne 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 Canberra to Melbourne

Your booked Canberra to Melbourne 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 Melbourne. For instance, a ground-floor access in Southbank gets packed differently from a third-floor walk-up in Ripponlea or a steep driveway in St Kilda East.

Before the move, many Canberra to Melbourne removalists also offer furniture disassembly services if your bed frame or wardrobe won’t fit through the door assembled. And once you arrive in Melbourne, they may even help reassemble everything, as long as this extra task is communicated to them beforehand. 

Pro tip: You can 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 Canberra to Melbourne

Your Canberra to Melbourne 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. 

Your Canberra to Melbourne removalist can even help position your appliances correctly, be it in your new apartment in Fitzroy or a new house in Eltham. 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. 

Moving fragile items from Canberra to Melbourne

Another key service that you may request from your Canberra to Melbourne 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 Eltham or St Helena, 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 Canberra to Melbourne

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 Canberra to Melbourne, 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 at the University of Melbourne 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 Canberra and drop them off in Melbourne, covering areas such as Montmorency, Rosanna, Northcote, and Brunswick.

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.
