The costs of moving to Australia
The biggest advantage of moving by sea container to Australia is the cost. An enormous number of containers go on one boat, which means that the price is naturally lower than when moving by air freight. Groupage also makes it possible to share the already relatively low sea freight costs with others. Transpack can send you a tailor-made offer with all costs.
How long will my possessions be on their way to Australia?
How long your belongings are on their way to Australia depends on the type of transport you choose. With airfreight transport, your possessions can be expected in your new home within 2 to 3 weeks. If you choose to move by sea container, you will need to be patient for at least 12 weeks.

| Clothing | It is important to bring appropriate clothing to Australia, especially in the cities of Sydney and Canberra. In Perth and Darwin you can wear what you feel comfortable in and there are less formal dress rules. Also, in these areas, there is a warmer climate. Think of items for protection from the sun, such as hats and light clothing. Work a lot with layers. In winter, it can get a lot colder. | |
| Travel plug | The main voltage in Australia is 230 Volt and the frequency is 50Hz. You need an adapter plug if you bring electrical devices. | |
