If you’ve got a big red circle on the calendar for your upcoming move, chances are you’re already thinking about the dreaded moving day. We get it—between the packing, planning, and inevitable last-minute chaos, it can feel like a logistical mountain. But here’s the good news: with the right Canberra removalist, moving day doesn’t have to be stressful, messy, or unpredictable.
In this article, we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect on moving day with a Canberra removalist—specifically, the team at Doctor Move. From the first knock at your door to the last box unloaded, you’ll know what’s coming, how to prepare, and how to make the most of the day.
Your move doesn’t start when the truck pulls up. At Doctor Move, we lay the groundwork ahead of time to make sure things go smoothly.

We treat your home with the same care we would our own. That means:
If you have tricky access, such as steep driveways, tight stairwells, or multi-storey apartments, we come prepared. We've done moves across all corners of Canberra—from compact city units in Braddon to heritage homes in Griffith—so nothing catches us off guard.

Everything is strapped down inside the truck, and a detailed inventory is taken if you’re moving long-distance or into storage.
Let’s face it—moving day rarely goes 100% to plan. But working with a professional Canberra removalist means you’ve got a team that adapts.
Our crew keeps you updated throughout the day, so you're never left wondering what's next.
Once we arrive at your new place, unloading begins in the reverse order of loading. You can expect us to:
We’ll do a final walkthrough with you to make sure you’re happy before we call it a day.
We handle most of the heavy lifting (literally), but here’s how you can help things move faster:
You don’t need to micromanage us—just be present and let us know if anything changes.
This is the part people often overlook. Doctor Move doesn’t just disappear once the last box is off the truck.
We also offer ongoing storage solutions if you’re not quite ready to unpack everything.
At the end of the day, what really matters is trust. When you choose Doctor Move, you’re choosing a team that:
