How to Get Ready for an Interstate Move from Brisbane

Transcorp Removals & Storage has helped countless customers with moving interstate from Brisbane over the years. This could be due to starting their dream job, wanting to be closer to family, desiring a change of scenery, or any other reason.

Naturally, moving and settling into a new city and state is a massive endeavour, and not one to be taken lightly. That’s why Transcorp Removals & Storage has created this comprehensive family relocation guide packed full of family-friendly interstate moving tips.

Interstate Move Preparation

Emotional Preparation for Moving

There can be a lot of mixed emotions when leaving the state that has been your home to begin a new chapter in another state. Accepting this is the best type of emotional preparation for moving you can do. It’s also highly recommended, if possible, to only do essential tasks on the first two or three days after moving in, helping to make things easier for you and your family.

Moving Children Interstate

Moving children interstate is not an easy task, as it can be a very new and sudden change in their life. Parents should do everything they can to offer as much stability as possible during the move to ease their children into it. There’s also the matter of the necessary school transition during an interstate move. Parents should look into the local schools in their new area and determine which one will be best.

Preparing Pets for an Interstate Move

Not only is moving children interstate a major task, but so too is moving any pets you have. There are many logistics involved with moving a pet, from having the right type of pet crate to keep them secure through to ensuring your pet is well fed and generally looked after. For this reason, it’s highly recommended to hire professional removalists that can assist with preparing pets for an interstate move.

Family Safety in the New City

A sometimes overlooked but very important part of any interstate move preparation is doing research on family housing options interstate and the neighbourhoods you’re considering before moving. Doing so will give you an idea of the crime rate of these suburbs so you can determine how safe they are to live in. This can save you and your family a great deal of drama and make everyone feel safer in the long term.

Settling into a New City

Exploring the New Neighbourhood & Other Local Areas

Once you and your family have moved in, you can start exploring your new neighbourhood and other nearby suburbs to learn your way around. You can find a range of family activities in your new city as well as check out local shops, parks, cafes, restaurants, entertainment and more.

Finding Community Support

When moving to a new neighbourhood, it’s a good idea to get to know your neighbours. Finding community support is not something to underestimate, as having good rapport with your neighbours can provide benefits for both socialising and security.

Moved from Adelaide to Melbourne and needed to make a late booking due to a different mover cancelling on us. Raphael and his team took care of everything and made the process easy and took a lot of pressure off us. The person we booked with maintained contact throughout and was very helpful and answered all questions. Raphael the driver gave etas and checked in when close by and came exactly when booked, was friendly and handled our furniture with care. We definitely recommend them and would use their services again.

The team were absolutely wonderful. Ever so careful to ensure furniture was loaded in and unloaded at the other end and no damages.
Even manoeuvring around tight corners. Would recommend 100% for the great job.

11/10 Service Received! From the booking process to the uplift, ability to hold whilst waiting on a delivery address, the Transcorp have been amazing to deal with. Easing my anxiety & making everything as simple as possible. Their price was also the best I found, quoting against 6 other companies. I will absolutely use these guys every time I move from now on!

We recently engaged Transcorp Removals & Storage for a complex relocation project at Alfred Health. Operating within a live hospital environment, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and efficiency in a coherent and well-structured manner. Every phase of the removal was executed with precision, reflecting their experience working in a live environment. Transcorp's strategic planning for the storage and subsequent relocation post-construction was seamless, providing us with complete confidence in the process.
Chris Pery
Very happy with the service I received , I was short delivered one package, but when realised, the guys kept in touch with me & got it to me as quick as possible. Great service, I would recommend Transcorp to friends & family. Special thanks to Lilianne Addamo she made the whole process so easy & was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Thanks 🙏
Claire Sitzler

Steve W
I am writing to express my thanks to Kristie Sexton at Transcorp. Her proactive, thoughtful and warm service level, is the best I have experienced in some time. Supportive, helpful, over-and-above, and even when at the conclusion of a week's worth of quoting and a last-minute change, which resulted in the job not being possible, there was only further support in providing a recommendation. I hope the team at Transcorp know how lucky they are to have you!
Betty Ferrari
From the first point of contact arranging the booking for our furniture removal from Melbourne to Brisbane, the service received was friendly, prompt and professional. The whole process flowed through without any issues. Having used Transcorp in the past and with the same experience, I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a smooth operation. Thanks Transcorp!
Mark Phayer
Very prompt, communications excellent, would recommend Transcorp for your removals. Thanx to Andre, Gabriel and Marcos!
Craig Buckley
Charmaine Braddy
Really great efficient service.
Jocelyn Hodson
Excellent experience with Transcorp from start to finish - my move was from Melbourne to Perth including my car. I gathered several quotes and apart from value for money, the service given by Katrina was efficient and thorough which gave me confidence, this was then supported by Sammy the removalist (best ever) and the car transport was effortless, all happened with "military precision".
Very grateful to everyone - it's hard when your older and have to watch the budget and doing by oneself - service with a heart!
Shelby Murphy
Andre, Heitor and Lukus were absolutely lovely. A pleasure to deal with, unbelievably hard working and took amazing care of all of our belongings. They went above and beyond. They made a couple of long stressful days a lot easier to manage.
Irena B
Felipe, Anri, Daniel and Guilherme were helpful and efficient !
Pauline Johns
I recently moved from QLD to SA and just can't recommend Transcorp Removals highly enough. From the very first phone call to get a quote, right through to the uplift and then the drop off......everything went exactly to plan - special mention to Liliana who took me through the whole process step by step so patiently and kindly - your coordination skills are second to none, and you made a 'difficult' move, just happen - Thank you so much.

Then to Eddie and Lucas from Ready Movers who did the uplift, it was a long job as they had to pick up from 2 different locations, but they were so professional and courteous and in good spirits all the way through, I'm still in awe of how beautifully you packed the truck - you were both amazing!

Many thanks also, to David and your team, Julio, Caio, Didgo, & Daz, from Ready Movers who did the drop off, again - a long tedious move with many trips up in a very small lift, but everyone was so polite and obliging with my goods and I really appreciate the care taken to put things where I wanted them. You all did a fantastic job - I'm so impressed and wish I could give you 10 stars!.

"Transcorp Removal and Storage was fantastic to work with! Their team was professional and efficient, handling our transport needs with ease. The customer service was friendly and approachable, making the whole experience great from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
Jeekay Dee
Transcorp expertly uplifted my entire home for a move from the mainland to Tasmania. They packed everything with care, and the uplift team were cheerful and considerate.
Transcorp also arranged the move for my cat and dog via their partners, JetPets. For what was undoubtedly a very stressful situation for both of our beloved pets, they arrived with minimal stress and have settled in well to our new home.
The unloading team in Tassie were also extremely quick and efficient. All of our belongings arrived perfectly packed and not a single breakage.
Transcorp were great value, and their back of house admin team are super responsive and helpful. Special shout out to the Lynnes (both operations Lynne, and accounts team Lynne), at Transcorp, and Mandy at JetPets for being so helpful and answering all of my (many) questions. 10/10 would definitely work with Transcorp again.
Dundi Krumpli
Thank you for moving us, always friendly, on time, careful, and fast. Andre, Lucas, Ariely did an amazing job. Highly recommend all 3 of them! Thank you!!
Chris Stamellos
Transcorp Removals did a fantastic job from start to finish. They provided boxes to help me pack, carefully removed and stored my furniture and belongings so I could have my floorboards sanded and polished, and then returned everything in perfect condition. The team was professional, friendly, efficient, and took great care with my things. I’m very happy to recommend their services – great service, great team!
Lee Ellis
Felipe Brito and Victor Godoy were most professional in completing our relocation. They were kind, courteous and considerate.
Highly recommend this team.
Tom Hickey
Lynne from Transcorp and the removal crew made our interstate move happen so smoothly especially as it happened just post Cyclone Alfred. Adam and his offsiders worked well both at pickup and set down and we were able to move into our new home the same day.
Thanks again.
Moni
Thank you for the positive experience In a very overwhelming time of juggling furniture to be moved out with a fast settlement. The booking process was very friendly, professional and helpful, as were the removalists on both the picking up and dropping off end interstate. They handled the furniture with care which is always one of the biggest worries with choosing a removalist. The plants were even transported in the right way to not be affected by being in a closed in space. Thanks Transcorp for helping make a stressfull process easier.
Sherollasha Richard

Gina Umoren
Couldn’t have been happier with Transcorp for our interstate move! They were flexible and accomodating as our needs changed and did a fabulous job packing our belongings for us to make the move stress free and easy. Everything arrived in perfect condition and their staff were friendly, courteous, and respectful
Denny Wells
Transcorp helped us move from Brisbane to Canberra. It was an unsupervised pickup from a storage unit with delivery to another storage unit.
Their call staff were super helpful and the removalists at the end were incredible, great with the furniture and boxes and putting up with us pulling boxes out that we needed as they unloaded. The only reason for 4-star instead of 5 is that our shipment was delayed (with good reason) but we had to follow up and find out where our things were over several phone calls. Would still highly recommend for making interstate moves as easy, professional and well priced as possible!!
Kerry Goodwin
From the initial meeting with Paul the Sales Manager to the pick-up guys and delivery, they were wonderful. It was an Interstate move and budget was a definite priority, we didn't have a lot of stuff for people over 60 but other companies quotes, were double or more from Transcorp's quote. I would use Transcorp again in a heartbeat for their efficiency, friendly and professional response to our move.
Maria Aarts
The business is genuine and prompt with correspondence and a great team that kept me up-to-date with my big interstate move. Thank you guys and gal's.
Brumbie
Furniture was picked up when they advised it would. Shane in Qld couldn't have been more patient trying to contact my son to make the delivery. Thank you Shane for your perseverance.
zsolt ugrai
I recently moved with Transcorp Removals, and I can confidently say they went above and beyond to make the experience smooth and stress-free. As a wheelchair user, I had specific needs and concerns, but their team was incredibly accommodating, professional, and attentive to every detail.

From start to finish, they handled everything with care, ensuring my belongings were safely transported and placed exactly where I needed them. The team was punctual, friendly, and highly efficient, making what could have been a stressful day so much easier.

I highly recommend Transcorp Removals to anyone looking for a reliable moving company, especially if you have accessibility requirements. Thank you for making my move a seamless and positive experience!
Steve Tonkin

I couldn't rate Transcorp less than 5 stars. From first contact their customer focus really stood out, and it continued through our relocation and to top it off a personal phone call after all was completed just to check in. If you are looking to relocate and need top-class transport and service, don't hesitate to give the team at Transcorp a call.

Our move from Boronia to Parkville was very smooth and stress-free. The movers were very efficient and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure all furnitures and boxes are delivered in good order. We're impressed!
Susan Levy
The whole team at Transcorp provided an excellent, efficient and welcoming service. The price was very competitive.
Roslyn Walker
The team arrived on time in Melbourne and, despite it being stinking hot, were lovely and efficient in loading and they wrapped the furniture well. A week later another friendly and efficient team delivered to me in Hobart at the arranged time. Good communication and and the price was 40% of what two other companies had quoted.
Nikki VR
Thank you for your excellent customer service, transport and communication with me during my major move from Melbourne to Qld. It was a very emotional time for me and Transcorp made the move so much easeir than I expected. Thank you to the drivers as well, so professional and friendly. Everything has arrived in good order and I thank you for that. I would definitely recommend Transcorp for anyone considering removalists.
