Removalists Bundoora
University flats to family homes, priced by the truck and crew.
Bundoora moves start with the housing
Bundoora has two university campuses and the housing stock that goes with them. Around La Trobe and RMIT you get multi-storey apartment blocks with lifts, loading docks and timed access windows. Further out, the streets open up into standard residential blocks with front lawns and driveways. A two-bedroom share house near the La Trobe campus is a completely different job from a four-bedroom home near Bundoora Park, and the quote we give you says so before anyone lifts a box.
Our Bundoora removalists charge local moves by the hour, matching the truck and crew to what each job actually needs. Give us the room count, the heavy or oversized pieces and how you get in at each end, and we size the job from there. A supervisor leads every crew, plans the loading order and decides what needs wrapping first. Local rates start from $75 per half hour for a two-person crew and a 20 cubic metre truck, and the full list by truck size is on our removalist prices page.
Campus loading bays and residential driveways
The apartment blocks closest to La Trobe carry heavy foot traffic during semester and parking a truck outside usually means booking a loading bay or timing the job for a quiet window. Many of those buildings require a lift booking and protective pads on the common-area walls before building management will let a crew through. The share houses around RMIT’s campus tend to be older homes split into bedrooms, with narrow hallways where fitting a queen bed through the front door takes planning.
Away from the campuses the suburb opens out. The residential streets near Bundoora Park have front driveways and nature strips wide enough for the truck, so the carry is short. Bundoora spans three council areas, Banyule, Darebin and Whittlesea, and street-parking permit rules can differ from one block to the next. We check this before the day so the truck is parked legally and the crew is loading rather than circling for a spot.
Packing a campus flat or wrapping a family home
Small apartments near the universities leave little room to stage boxes, so our packing teams come in and work straight to the truck. We supply boxes, paper and tape, and label everything by room so unpacking at the other end is quicker. For a full family home, beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are taken apart for the move and rebuilt at the other end, and every piece of furniture gets blankets, plastic sheeting and straps before it leaves the room.
If settlement dates do not line up, we collect your things and keep them in a climate-controlled facility under round-the-clock watch until you have the keys. Interstate jobs out of Bundoora can go as one truck on a set delivery date or as a shared load where you split the space and the cost with another household. Every move is covered by public liability and transit insurance.

Let us know where you are now, where you are going, how many rooms, and anything oversized like a piano or pool table. Mention stairs, lifts or long carries at either address, and we work out a price and the right truck. You can measure the volume yourself with the calculator below. There is no charge for a quote and no obligation to go ahead.
The move that costs least is the one where the crew walks in and boxes are already taped, drawers emptied and a parking spot held. Having the lift booked if your building has one shaves time just as easily. Ring 1300 724 553 or fill in the contact form and we will come back to you.

Common questions about moving in Bundoora
Do I need a loading bay booking for a La Trobe or RMIT apartment?
Most apartment blocks near both campuses require a loading bay reservation and a lift booking. Tell us the building name and we check the rules. If the bay is only available for a short window, we plan the load to make the most of it rather than running back and forth.
Can you move just one bedroom out of a share house?
Share-house moves are common in Bundoora because of the university population. We move your bedroom, your share of the kitchen and whatever else is yours. The crew marks everything clearly so nothing belonging to a housemate goes on the truck.
How does Bundoora spanning three council areas affect the move?
Bundoora sits across Banyule, Darebin and Whittlesea, and each council has its own street-parking permit rules. We check which council covers your street before the day so we know whether a permit is needed or whether a driveway will do.
Can you hold furniture if my new place is not ready?
Yes. We take your things on moving day and keep them in a climate-controlled facility with surveillance until the new place is ready. When you have the keys, we deliver to the door and place everything in the rooms you point at.
Do you take apart beds and flat-pack wardrobes?
Dismantling beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes and rebuilding them at the new place is part of every move. Let us know what you have so we bring the right tools.
How much notice do you need for a Bundoora move?
Book as early as you can, especially around end-of-semester or end-of-month dates when demand is high. If your move is this week, call us and we will fit you in if a truck is free.

What Our Customers Are Saying
What Our Customers Say
Hear from clients who have experienced our reliable and professional moving services.
Big thank you to Careful Hands Removalists for their excellent work in moving our household to a new house. Jordan and his teammate arrived on time and went straight to work packing/wrapping up the furniture and loading the truck while carefully not damaging any furniture/appliances. The job is complete after a long day of heavy lifting with multiple truckloads. All the while being polite and always asking about each piece of furniture placement. I would highly recommend careful hands movers to look after your move. We will use them again in the future.
