In addition to our professional team of packers and movers, we arrange shipping your household effects and offer departure services such as disconnecting your utilities or arranging a full clean of your property before your move out of the Middle East.

Moving out of the Middle East

There are a number of tasks that need to be completed before you leave the Middle East for your new life in Australia.

• Close all local bank accounts and pay off credit cards and loans.
• Ensure all paperwork is completed by both yourself and your employer with regard to your employment and visa.
• Give the required notice to your landlord and ensure that all outstanding rental payments are covered. 
• Make sure that you have paid all outstanding bills to the relevant Electricity and Water Authorities and that you have canceled (and paid in full) for other services such as telephones and the internet.

About Australia

Australia is a popular destination for expatriates – and for good reason. Residents enjoy a high quality of life, relaxed lifestyles, and the beauty of what the country has to offer. 

Australia has tight quarantine regulations in place surrounding the import of food, plant, and animal material. Your Move Coordinator will be able to advise if you are unsure about what you can or cannot bring into the country.
