Removalists Hume
Hourly moves across Canberra with the truck matched to your access.
Moving in and out of Hume
Hume sits along one of Australia’s major interstate transport corridors, and many of the moves we handle here are households heading to or arriving from Sydney or Melbourne. Whether you are staying within Canberra or crossing state lines, the job starts the same way: describe the rooms, list the large items, give us both addresses, and we size the truck and crew to suit.
Our Hume removalists charge by the hour. Every job has a supervisor who sets the loading plan and checks that each piece is secured before the doors close. 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.
What the crew does on the day
Your furniture gets a layer of blankets and plastic before loading, and the crew straps each piece so nothing moves on the road. Beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes are taken down, loaded flat, and reassembled once the truck is unloaded at the new address.
If the move involves stairs, a narrow hallway or a long carry from the front door to the kerb, we already know about it because we ask about access when we quote. Knowing the layout at both ends keeps the clock down and the final price close to what we originally estimated.
Boxes, packing and holding your load in storage
A packing team can handle the kitchen, glassware and wardrobes ahead of the move if you add it to the quote. We also sell boxes, tape and paper for anyone who prefers to pack themselves.
The job runs under our public liability and transit insurance. If your new place is not ready when you have to leave the old one, we keep your goods in a climate-controlled building watched by cameras day and night, and bring them when you are settled.
Interstate moves along the Hume corridor
The Hume corridor connects Canberra to both Sydney and Melbourne, so interstate moves from here have a direct run in either direction. Choose a dedicated truck with a firm delivery day, or a backload that shares space with another load heading the same way, priced on the room yours takes up.
If you are moving into Hume from interstate, we bring everything to the door and carry it to the rooms you nominate.
Request a free quote
Give us both addresses, the bedroom count, anything oversized like a piano or pool table, and whether stairs or a lift affect loading at either end. We send back a price and a truck recommendation, and you can test the volume yourself with our online calculator below. No charge and no commitment.
Because you pay for the time the crew works, the fastest move is the one where everything is packed and the paths are clear before we ring the bell. Call 1300 724 553 if you prefer to talk, or send us a message through the contact form.

Common questions about moving from Hume
How long does an interstate move from Hume to Sydney take?
The Hume corridor gives a direct run north to Sydney. A dedicated truck has an agreed delivery day, while a shared backload fits your furniture alongside another load heading the same way. The backload costs less because you pay only for the space your goods use, but the delivery window is wider. We set out the expected timing before you book.
Can you relocate a Hume office outside business hours?
Yes. Office and commercial moves are available around the clock, including nights and weekends. If the office is in a commercial building in Hume, we arrange lift and loading-dock access in advance so the crew can work without delays.
Do I need to empty drawers and dismantle furniture before the crew arrives?
Our crews take down beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes as part of the job and reassemble them at the new place. You do not need to pull furniture apart yourself. Emptying drawers and clearing items off shelves does help, because if your Hume property has stairs or a long hallway, lighter pieces are quicker to carry and that keeps the hours down.
What packing options do you offer for a move in Hume?
We sell boxes, paper and tape if you want to pack yourself, or we send a team the day before to handle the kitchen, glassware and wardrobes. Our packers label every box by room so you know where things go at the new address. For a local move within Canberra, packing the breakables properly makes the biggest difference to how fast the crew can load.
What size trucks do you run?
We run trucks in several sizes, from smaller vehicles for unit moves to larger ones for family homes. If your Hume property has a single-width driveway, we send a truck that fits it rather than blocking the street. You can check the volume yourself with our online calculator before you book.
