Moving abroad

Australia

Moving to Australia
Australia has the largest UK expat population in the world. It is by far the most popular retirement destination, and a major holiday destination. It is also one of Atlantic's main destinations for removals and shipping.

Atlantic International Movers provide a comprehensive removals, shipping and storage service for Australia. Services can include full packing and unpacking, insurance and storage at either end. Your specific move requirements will be discussed with one of our moving consultants, and every detail from the packing and collection through to delivery and unpacking will be agreed. Throughout your move, a move manager will ensure that everything goes to plan, and keep you informed of progress at all times.

Shipping is usually by dedicated container, part-load container or airfreight. Australia has complex customs and import regulations that apply to moves from the UK – please view this factsheet and talk to your relocation consultant for further information.

If you would like us to survey your possessions and provide a quotation to move to Australia please complete this simple form, or you can complete this online questionnaire and we can provide a quotation by email.

Australia
Australia has the highest number of British expats in the world. Over 1.3 million Brits live in Australia, with thousands more emigrating every year. With a population of some 20 million, it is by far the largest overseas contingent in the country.

Moving to Australia does involve specific arrangements and documentation so that your effects and household goods can be imported. We have prepared a guide to moving to Australia which will give you an insight into the requirements. Your moving consultant will thoroughly brief you, and assist in ensuring you meet all the requirements during your move.

Moving to Australia will initially involve our team expertly packing and export wrapping all your personal effects and household goods, using quality materials. Depending upon your chosen shipping method, these will then be loaded into a vehicle for consolidation into a container at our warehouse, loaded into a dedicated container for shipping direct, or packed into air freight pallets ready for shipping by air.

Whichever shipping method is used, your goods will be unaccompanied - we have prepared some general guidance on what you can and cannot include in unaccompanied baggage.

In Australia, our agent will then deliver your personal affects and household goods to your new home, and unpack them, taking away the wrapping and packing materials.  

Australia
Australia is the 15th largest economy in the world. With an area of some 7.7 million sq km it is a huge country, but with a population of just 20 million, it makes it one of the most sparsely populated on the globe.

Australia has a culture and attitude to life which is unique in the world. It is one of the youngest countries, with a growing national pride and affluence which has made it the most popular expat destination not only for the UK but many other western countries.
