Everything in the guide, as a list you can tick off. It saves as you go.
Six stages, from three months before you leave to three months after you land. Nothing here is urgent on its own — the point is that none of it arrives as a surprise. Not every line applies to every household; skip what doesn’t.

“A list this long looks like a mountain when you are standing at the bottom of it. It is not. It is roughly forty small errands spread over six months, and most of them take under an hour. Do the ones with a lead time first — pets, schools, the bank account — and let the rest arrive in their own order. Nobody has ever done all of this perfectly, and everybody has still arrived.”

This chapter is part of a bigger guide — and we’re here for the rest of it
We place healthcare professionals across New Zealand and Australia, and stay with the move through registration, visas and the first months after you land.
This checklist answers when. There’s another for what applies to me.
The list above is the timeline — around forty errands in the order they need doing. If you’d rather start from who’s moving, our moving checklist builds itself around your household: partner work rights, school-age children, under-fives, a pet, or moving out ahead of the family.
