Change Of Address Checklist
There are quite a lot of things to organise before you move house, including making sure you organise a change of address with all of the necessary organisations. While some opt to utilise the Australian Post’s redirection service, this requires payment and is only a short term solution of up to 3 months.
Fragile Removals has compiled a change of address checklist to assist you in getting organised, though keep in mind that there are some variations between different states and territories of Australia.
