What to check when hiring removals / moving companies in Australia
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Trade and building licensing in Australia is set by each state or territory. Check the relevant regulator (e.g. NSW Fair Trading, QBCC in Queensland, VBA in Victoria) that the contractor holds a current licence for the work type and value before you hire.
- For larger residential building work, confirm the contractor carries the home-building / domestic-building insurance your state requires before you pay a deposit. It is what protects you if the work is left unfinished or defective.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a removals / moving company
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Accreditation with the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA) is a voluntary mark that a mover is properly equipped, insured and trained: look for it.
- Check what insurance covers your goods in transit, including the limits and excess: a mover's own liability is usually limited unless you take transit cover.
- Confirm public liability insurance and a valid ABN on the ABN Lookup (abr.business.gov.au).
- Get a written quote based on an inventory or a home visit, stating whether it's fixed or hourly, plus any stairs, heavy-item or distance fees.
Warning signs of a dodgy tradie
- A quote given sight-unseen with no inventory, then a much larger bill on the day.
- No clear answer on what insurance covers your goods if something is damaged or lost.
- Demands a large cash deposit, or full payment before unloading.
- No ABN, no written terms, and a vehicle with no business identification.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you AFRA-accredited, and do you carry transit cover on my goods?
- Is the quote fixed or hourly, and what extra fees could apply (stairs, heavy items, distance)?
- What happens, and what's covered, if something is damaged or lost?
- Do you carry public liability insurance, and what is your ABN?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy removals / moving company?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A removals / moving company backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend removals / moving companies for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Removals / moving companies are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a removals / moving company?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the removals / moving company, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
