Relocating from New Zealand to Australia is a big step—one that comes with excitement, opportunity, and yes, a bit of paperwork. Whether you’re moving to Sydney for a new job, joining family in Brisbane, or starting fresh in Melbourne, Citymove is here to make your trans-Tasman transition seamless and stress-free.
Why Move with Citymove?

We manage the logistics from end to end, coordinating everything from pick-up in New Zealand to delivery at your new address in Australia.

Understanding Customs and Documentation
Moving to Australia means dealing with customs. But don’t worry—Citymove will guide you through the process. We provide all the necessary forms and help you complete them accurately. Some items, such as plants, soil, certain food products, and untreated wooden furniture, are restricted or require inspection.
We’ll also advise you on declaring high-value items and ensuring everything is compliant to avoid delays at the border.
Timeline and Delivery Estimates
International moves take more time than domestic ones. On average, shipping household goods from New Zealand to Australia via sea freight can take 3–6 weeks. Air freight is faster but more expensive. During your consultation with Citymove, we’ll help you choose the best option based on your budget and timeframe.More Information... https://www.citymove.co.nz/moving-newzealand/auckland
