Are you wondering whether removalists in Melbourne will operate during stage 4 of COVID-19 pandemic?
Do you think removalists in Melbourne can still work?
You don’t need to worry. Indeed, Melbourne’s removalists can operate under stage 4 provided they are permitted to operate within the Road transport Category.
VIC Government and NSW Government have notified you that you can leave your home only if the purpose behind is relocation.
As per Stay At Home Directions in Victoria, you can only vacate your place for a local or interstate move if it is necessary. For instance, the rental agreement has ended, or you have sold your premises.
If you are relocating to metropolitan Melbourne, you have to ensure that you don’t do it amidst the curfew timing. You are not allowed to move between 8 pm to 5 am, so plan your move accordingly.
You can increase the labor to finish the relocation work at a faster pace. As per the department of health and human service, everyone should be extra cautious to stay safe.
If your move looks like it will run over the curfew, we will suggest extra men complete your move within the curfew. DHHS has also recommended everyone take extra steps to stay safe, including wearing a face covering.
Don’t forget to carry proof of your new residence while relocating.
With extra precautions, removalists companies are working with full capacity to take extra precautions to ensure their clients and team’s safety.
If you are planning to move interstate, you must know every interstate border has different self-isolation restrictions. Talking about Victoria, self-isolation is not required for interstate removals. But the NSW border has some restrictions. As per them, relocation is not a lawful reason to enter NSW. It’s necessary to have the NSW border entry permit before your travel to NSW. If you are traveling, a 14-day hotel quarantine at your own expense is required.
