The ultimate “moving to the UK from Australia” checklist
1. Planning your move
Early planning is essential. Create a timeline, gather essential documents (including a personalised moving plan), and research lifestyle factors like housing, visas, school enrolments and social clubs.
Partner with an experienced FIDI-accredited removalist. As an international removalist, Keys is an accredited member of AFRA (Australian Furniture Removers Association) and FIDI (Federation Internationale Des Demenageurs Internationaux).
You might need a visa. Australia and the UK have strong bilateral ties. Still, unless you hold a UK passport, you might need a visa to move there. Check visa requirements here.
2. Packing and preparing
Store, ship, or sell? Decide what’s moving with you, what’s staying in storage in Australia, and what you’re going to sell or donate.
Finalise your schedule with Keys. Shipping times vary, so it’s important to keep us updated if your plans change. We’ll work hard to coordinate shipping so everything arrives on your schedule.
Prepare your precious cargo. Whether you need moving boxes, furniture disassembly, storage solutions, or help preparing fragile art and high-value items, we have packing materials specifically designed to protect your items in transit.
3. What to expect when moving your belongings
Arrange transit insurance. While Keys and our transit partners take the utmost care of your belongings, there may be circumstances beyond our control. We always recommend transit insurance to prevent loss during your move.
Stay updated. We provide regular updates on the status of your belongings as they make the journey from Australia to the UK, with dedicated support available throughout.
4. Arriving in the UK
Clearing customs. Our international removalist expertise includes customs clearance. We arrange all the documentation so you don’t need to deal with the stress when you arrive.
Wait for your belongings to arrive. We coordinate with trusted local teams to deliver your belongings as soon as possible. And if you need temporary storage until you find a new home, we can help.
