Why book Sydney to Canberra removalists through Airtasker?

Despite the fact that about 7000 people moved to Canberra in 2024, it isn't easy moving all of your belongings all the way there from Sydney. One may think that it could be easy, it's just around a 3-hour drive, right? But moving isn't always so simple. 

The move still covers around 300 kilometres, mostly via the M23. That’s before factoring in loading time, rest stops, traffic, and the careful handling required for furniture and appliances. This is where Airtasker comes in with experienced removalists and everything you need for your Sydney to Canberra move.

Booking a Sydney to Canberra removalists through Airtasker means you’re hiring someone who’s done this run enough times to know exactly how to pack a truck for 280–300 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.

Start by clicking on "Post a Task." Then describe your job, from where to where, especially the suburb. Note if you need things like backloading services, fragile items, packaging supplies, or other storage needs. Set a date and budget range, then watch as professional removalists for moving interstate post their offers. Review the different Sydney to Canberra removals offers and their ratings to find the right Taskers for you.

Top Sydney to Canberra Removals related questions

People often move to Canberra, the vibrant capital city, to be farther from traffic, which is a more stress-free life. Canberra, compared to Sydney, is generally quieter, and people have access to fresher air, more space, and, on occasion, cheaper costs for most things.

A regional move or distances from around 50-300 kms would cost around $140 to $170 per hour. This is the standard rate for two removalists and a truck for long-distance moves. Of course, the costs would change depending 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 moving costs really can change.

Airtasker records the highest number of removals in July, while December sees the lowest volume. July is in the middle of Sydney’s drier season, which makes moving easier and allows for more reliable services —there’s less heat, less humidity, and fewer summer storms. Around December gets busier with the holidays and the start of summer, so usually that's not ideal for moving houses or moving to a new home.

Most Sydney to Canberra 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 Sydney to Canberra addresses. 

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

People move to Canberra to be farther from the traffic and general expenses of Sydney. The quiet towns and laidback lifestyle are great for those a little tired of Sydney city life.

Planning to move? Despite the seemingly short distance between Sydney to Canberra, it's hard to have a stress-free moving experience on your own. That's where Airtasker comes in. Everything from interstate removalists to short-notice additional services like reliable packing for your move, you can find through Airtasker. 

Every month, Airtasker records 5,000+ removals tasks in Sydney, with 500+ verified removalists actively completing them. So if you’re booking a Sydney to Canberra 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 Sydney, these professionals have established a reputation for providing reliable, meticulous, and consistent service. Since every move is different, Sydney to Canberra 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 Sydney to Canberra

Your booked Sydney to Canberra 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 Canberra. For instance, a ground-floor access in Charnwood gets packed differently from a third-floor walk-up in Acton or a steep driveway in Russell.

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

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 Sydney to Canberra

Your Sydney to Canberra 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 Sydney to Canberra removalist can even help position your appliances correctly, be it in your new apartment in Mitchell or a new house in Hume. 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 Sydney to Canberra

Another key service that you may request from your Sydney to Canberra 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 Hume or Kenny, 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 Sydney to Canberra

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 Sydney to Canberra, 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 University of Canberra 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 Sydney and drop them off in Canberra, covering areas such as Bonner, Yarralumla, Forrest, and Hackett.

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.
