Safe and Secure All the Way
A major interstate relocation can be a wonderful fresh start but first, you and your belongings, need to arrive there safely. A journey from Brisbane to Melbourne is a complex trip and at Vaz Power we realise how important the packing and loading stage of the trip is. Our team is fully trained to spot items that look like they may need a little extra attention when your big day arrives.
Our packing team uses the highest quality packaging techniques and materials. However, if you are undertaking the packing yourself, we make our exceptional range available to you too, through our Box Shop. Our highly trained team will then ensure everything is loaded securely onto our fleet to minimise movement during the journey. Make sure you clearly label anything fragile.
The transport fleet at Vaz Power is maintained to the highest standards and carefully selected to suit your move. Feel free to give our supportive staff a call on 1300 875 197 as you begin to plan your next move.
Discover Our Range of Services
Moving a lifetime’s collection of furniture and special items can seem daunting. It’s amazing how much you can accumulate over the years and sometimes it’s overwhelming knowing where and how to start. Beginning the process with a call to Vaz Power can considerably reduce your stress and make the process a lot easier.
We also provide packing and/or unpacking services. Packing can be time-consuming and problematic. Sometimes there aren’t enough hours in the day or you just have much more than you can handle. We can not only provide an extra pair of hands, or more, to make the job easier but can also advise on the best way to wrap or pack fragile or awkward items.
Likewise, if you need extra help once you reach your destination, our team can help with unpacking. Of course our removalists will do all the heavy lifting for you and be quite happy to move your furniture to the rooms and places you decide. However, we also have professionals who can help to unpack your boxes, especially essential items like kitchenware. You choose what you need help with and we will be there.
If you aren’t sure about some items, we can arrange additional storage at our secure facilities. Call our team to discuss an individualised moving plan.

Our Services
With years of experience in long distance moves, we’ve been everywhere and seen it all. Let us deal with the worry of cross border regulations. Our cutting edge tracking systems will allow you to see where your belongings are throughout the journey and help in calculating arrival times. Your possessions will be in safe hands at all times for those long multi-day journeys.
We understand that living on rural and farming properties means you often have belongings that urban families don’t. If you have farming equipment, large items like ride-on mowers or larger than normal items, like water tanks, then give us a call right from the beginning. Our consultants will be happy to create a personalised moving plan for you and discuss the safest way to move everything you want to take.
We understand how problematic an interstate office relocation can be. Time is money! To facilitate the packing process, why not let our professional packers do the work, leaving your staff to do what they do best. We are experienced in moving all forms of electronics and will even help you get things in place and installed again once you arrive.
Vaz Power has a range of storage facilities available for short and long term storage. This makes us an ideal choice if you need to begin moving items ahead of a move or if you just want to keep seldom used equipment or furniture out of the way at your next destination. Climate-controlled, with exceptional security systems, you don’t need a backyard shed, just call us.
No job too big or small
Even for those long distance relocations, we will endeavour to find a solution to move whatever you request. If you are in Melbourne and have just inherited an antique lounge suite or dresser from a relative in Brisbane, then we can arrange to bring it to you. Give us a call, to discuss your needs.
We offer assistance before you move and after. Our trained professionals can help with packing if you have lots of items to pack, you don’t have time to pack or you just don’t want to. We know it’s not everyone’s favourite job. The same applies once you have arrived. We can provide as little or much support as you need.
Packaging and Boxes
We use only the best and we suggest you do too. It’s heartbreaking to discover that something hasn’t survived the journey because it was insecurely packed or inappropriately wrapped. Our range of boxes and packing wraps are available through our Box Shop. The extra effort of packing properly will be worth it in the end.
What we provide
Expert Removalists
Don’t risk a personal injury by trying to do too much. Our removalists are carefully trained to lift and move safely and have the appropriate equipment needed for the job. They will be more than happy to carefully position everything exactly where you want it, so that you can settle in quickly.
Personalised Moving Plans
Every move is different. Every home is different. Every office is different. You get the idea! That’s why we create personalised plans for each client. Our staff will review your request, trouble-shoot any potential problems and provide invaluable advice for ensuring your next move is successful.
Insurance Cover
We don’t anticipate you will need it, in fact we go above and beyond to prevent any mishaps. However, for those extra special items, speak to our staff about our comprehensive insurance coverage.
Protective Packaging
A successful move is one where every item arrives safely. One of the keys to this is in the packing. People are often happy to pack themselves and that’s fine with us, although we can provide extra help if you need it. What we do suggest though, is that you use good quality, clean packing materials. If you have doubts about particular items, especially fragile or electronic pieces, then feel free to call our team a call and explore the range at our Box Shop.
Online Inventory and Booking
Maybe you’re a seasoned mover and are more than capable of self-managing your move. If so, then our online inventory and booking system could be for you. You can book your moving dates and times, and even track your belongings throughout their journey. However, we are always here to take your call if you need extra assistance.
Professional Advice

Tips from our Melbourne Team
- Plan your arrival times around traffic: If you need to travel through Melbourne’s Central Business District and/or will be needing to use the freeways, think very carefully about travelling times. The CBD during working hours can be problematic with the trams for those unfamiliar with the streets. Additionally, peak hour out-bound travelling on the freeways can add an extra hour or two if you don’t time things right.
- Cultural Diversity: Melbourne is well-known as the multicultural capital of Australia. Get ready to enjoy an enormous array of cafes, bakeries and restaurants to suit every taste.
- Local Schools: If you are moving a family, do some research well ahead of your move. Research the educational and childcare options around the area you are heading to. It’s a good idea to contact schools in advance to check if they have vacancies for new students.
- Entertainment and Sports: You will love the nightlife, festivals and celebrations and a huge range of sporting events. In fact, Melbourne is widely regarded as the sporting capital of the world. From the Australian Open tennis to AFL and rugby, you’ll find something to enjoy.
- Heating and Cooling your home: People often say that in Melbourne you can experience all four seasons in one day…. and they aren’t wrong! It can get pretty chilly in winter if you are up in the hills and extremely hot in mid-summer. Investigate what systems a home will offer ahead of your move.
- Utility Connections: Make sure your big move gets off to a good start by ensuring you have the electricity on and hot water ready! Contact your service providers several weeks ahead of your move and arrange for disconnections and ask about provisions for your new home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to move my belongings from Brisbane to Melbourne?
Good question! This will depend on a few things including the volume and type of items being moved and the specific route and location of beginning and end points. In general though, you should allow between 2-5 days but once we have your specifics we can be more accurate.
Is a Brisbane to Melbourne move expensive?
We strive to be cost-effective and personalise your moving plan, so that you aren’t paying for things you don’t need. The cost of an interstate trip will depend largely on the quantity of items you have and the type of items. Call our experts who will be happy to discuss budgets with you.
What do I need to do beforehand?
Once you have decided to move, start by locking in your preferred moving date with us. We can provide lots of advice early on to make life easier. Then, separate all of those things that aren’t going to your new home. Be decisive, there’s no point packing and unpacking things you will never use again. Plan to take personal documents and small valuables with you as hand luggage. Organise utility services and start thinking early on about travelling arrangements for pets.
What happens if my home isn’t ready when my belongings arrive?
These things do sometimes happen. Don’t worry, Vaz Power has a range of storage options available to securely store your belongings. If you are working to a tight timeline let us know in advance so that we can help you have a Plan B ready.
How will I know where my belongings are over the days?
Our digital tracking system will allow you to keep track of items and anticipate arrival times. It’s also great fun for children to see where their favourite toys are travelling to. Ask our team to explain how it works.
