How to Prepare for Moving Day - A Brisbane Southside Checklist

How to Prepare for Moving Day: A Brisbane Southside Checklist

Moving house can feel overwhelming — but with the right preparation, it doesn't have to be stressful. At Max Care Removals, we've helped thousands of Brisbane Southside families move smoothly. Here's our essential moving day checklist to help you stay organised and stress-free.

Why Preparation Matters

The key to a successful move isn't just choosing reliable removalists (although that helps!) — it's also about being organised in the lead-up to moving day. Proper preparation saves time, reduces stress, and protects your belongings.

Your Brisbane Southside Moving Checklist

✅ 4 Weeks Before Moving

• Confirm your move-in date and book your removalist. (Pro tip: Max Care offers flexible booking to suit your schedule.)
• Declutter your home — donate, sell, or dispose of unwanted items.
• Arrange for packing materials — boxes, tape, bubble wrap. (We supply quality packaging — ask us!)

✅ 2 Weeks Before Moving

• Start packing non-essential items room by room.
• Clearly label boxes by room and contents.
• Notify utility providers (electricity, internet, water) of your move.
• Redirect mail and update your address details.

✅ 1 Week Before Moving

• Confirm booking details with your removalist — time, access points, parking.
• Pack a personal essentials box (toiletries, chargers, important documents).
• Disassemble furniture if required — or let our team handle it for you.
• Dispose of flammable items or liquids you can't transport.

✅ Moving Day

• Keep your essentials bag and valuables with you.
• Do a final walkthrough to check cupboards and storage areas.
• Let our Max Care team take care of the heavy lifting!
• Relax — you're in good hands with Brisbane's most reliable removalists.
