Moving to Queensland tips
A move to Queensland contains more hurdles and requires more planning than your average local move. A great place to start planning your move is with our moving house checklist, it’s very thorough! Below, there are some points for a move to Queensland.
Change of address
Regardless of whether you’re moving from New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, or elsewhere to Queensland, you’ll need to update your address. Otherwise, you might run into difficulty with your tax record or even voting.
An efficient resource to find all the government agencies you need to inform is none other than the government! It’ll quickly link to all the institutions you need to inform.
Also, it can be difficult to remember everyone and every institution even with a checklist, you’re only human after all! In that case, you can use the mail redirection service offered by the Australia Post to make sure you never miss a letter.
Change utilities
It is easily forgotten when planning an interstate move but changing your utilities is very important. You will need to cancel the accounts you have at your current address for utilities such as gas, electricity, water, and internet.
Tip! If you’re moving into a rented home, then it is worth finding out if any utilities are included in the rent.

How to move your car to Queensland
Of course, you always have the option to drive your car to Queensland yourself. This would save you money on paying for a car transportation service. Although, you may also want to consider the cost of fuel for your car and a few nights accommodation, as you are unlikely to make the drive in under a day.
However, those of you moving from Western Australia, or other far-away states, may not be too keen on a 48-hour+ drive! In that case, your removalist may be able to help, so be sure to ask them.
Once your car arrives in Queensland, you will need to complete some important administrative work in order to legally use it. For instance, you will need to register for a Queensland driver’s license and car registration. You can find all the information you need on the Queensland Government website.
How to move your pets to Queensland
When moving to Queensland, you will need to consider how to move your pet. If you opt to drive yourself to your new home, then your pet can always ride along! However, if this isn’t possible, then you may want to look into using a pet relocation service.
The Queensland government restricts certain animals from coming into the state. Your average cat or dog is fine, but maybe surprisingly, animals like rabbits and hamsters are banned! So, it’s a good idea to just double-check whether your pet can legally join you in Queensland.
