Here’s your complete moving checklist for 2026.

6–8 Weeks Before Moving

This is where a stress-free move starts.

• Lock in your moving date early

• Book a reliable removalist in Perth

• Start decluttering your home

• Sell, donate or get rid of items you don’t need

• Create a moving folder for quotes and documents

💡 Booking early gives you better availability and pricing, especially during busy periods.

4 Weeks Before Moving

Time to get organised.

• Confirm your removalist booking

• Start collecting boxes and packing supplies

• Notify your landlord or property manager

• Arrange time off work if needed

• Plan for kids, pets or storage if required

💡 Label your boxes clearly by room to make unpacking much easier.

2 Weeks Before Moving

Now things start to move quickly.

• Begin packing non-essential items

• Notify utilities (electricity, gas, internet)

💡 If you’re in an apartment, book lifts and parking in advance.

💡 Keep valuables and important documents separate from the move.

💡 A quick chat with your removal team helps everything run smoother.

After the Move

You’re in, now settle in properly.
