Moving house starts here
View pricing, read reviews and book professional interstate and local removalists online.
It all started with a single question.
Why isn’t there a niche property portal for the downsizers and retiree market?
It was 2003, and as the eldest daughter & daughter-in-law, we had just started the search for accommodation options for elderly parents. It wasn’t an easy or a pleasant experience and there was very little information available online.
It got us thinking – so we started talking to other families in similar situations and found they were just as confused and frustrated as we were.
So we built Downsizing.com.au, a website designed to be easy to use - a one-stop-portal to help consumers easily navigate the fragmented and complex retirement living and aged care sector in Australia.

Why our removalists are different
Muval removalists are a new standard for quality and care.
Each furniture removals company available on our platform must pass our 7-step verification process. We also conduct regular audits and check-ups to make sure vital insurances are up-to-date, and quality standards are being upheld. Many of our removalists are also members of the Australian Furniture Removalists Association (AFRA).
When you book your removalist with Muval, you get a company that cares about going the extra mile to make sure your next move is an easy one.
It's moving, the way it should be.

Frequently asked questions

The first thing to do once you’ve moved into your new home is to check the house. Check out Chapter 4 of our moving house guide for a detailed outline of what to do after you move.
The best way to ensure a successful move day is to be prepared. One way to do this is to notify your removalist about any very heavy or awkward-to-move items before move day. It can never hurt to double-check with them that they understand that you have these items, even if you have also submitted an inventory list. These sorts of items include:
- Grand / Baby grand piano
- Pizza oven
- Concrete furniture
- Pool / snooker tables (particularly slate)
- Many pot plants / large pot plants
Yes. This varies depends on which company you are using. Usually, the minimum charge is based on the cost of transporting 5 cubic metres.
If you change your list of items or space required a week before your move, we can usually adjust the price accordingly. In some circumstances this won’t be possible depending on the booking volume and amount of change and notice provided.
Each company has differing policies about notification before the pickup and delivery. Some companies can provide a time window on booking, others provide this the day before, while others will provide notice within an hour of their arrival.
It is preferable to consider taking out an all-risk policy for your move. We offer two different options of coverage for your move, which include lowering the excess to obtain a lower premium or the ability to cover specific items of your move: https://www.muval.com.au/cover
If you cancel within 48 hours of your booking (if your move is more than 5 days away) or give three weeks’ notice before your pick up date, you will get a full refund of your deposit.
Generally, it is around four porta-robes or 6 standard cartons for a wardrobe.
