Clear removalist pricing
Compare all three crew and truck options, then get a rough total using your furniture, access and driving distance between addresses.
Melbourne removalist rates
NextWave Movers starts at $165 per hour including GST for two removalists and a 4.5T extended-body truck, with a two-hour minimum. Standard hourly Melbourne moves have no separate call-out charge—the clock starts when work begins at pickup. The final cost depends on move time, truck and crew size, access and driving distance.
Crew and truck packages
The larger packages add a third removalist and more truck capacity. That can reduce handling time, although driving time and difficult access still count.
Apartments, smaller homes and standard local moves
Two to three bedrooms, heavier inventories or faster loading
Large homes, office moves and higher-volume loads
Included in every package
Special lifting equipment, third-party parking, storage, disposal and specialist-item requirements are assessed before booking.
Typical local move ranges
These examples use the Everyday Move package at $165/hour. The 8T and 10T packages have higher hourly rates but add a third mover and more capacity.
Examples assume a prepared local move with two movers, a 4.5T extended-body truck and standard furniture. They are not binding quotes.
Read the complete Melbourne removalist cost guideHow the instant estimate works
The quote form produces a range in seconds and sends the same calculation straight to our team, so you will not need to repeat the whole move when we contact you.
A few items, a one-bedroom apartment and a four-bedroom home need very different loading and unloading time.
The estimate measures the route from pickup to delivery and adds that expected driving time to the job.
Stairs, lift waits, long carries and restricted parking add labour time without changing the hourly rate.
You see a lower and upper estimate, not a false exact number. The team then checks the inventory and confirms the booking terms.
Specialist and long-distance work
Interstate moves, pianos, marble and stone, safes, difficult stairs, commercial relocations and storage work receive a wider instant range followed by a manual review. We confirm equipment, crew, route and any third-party costs before booking.

Clear expectations matter as much as the hourly rate.
For standard hourly Melbourne moves there is no separate call-out charge. Time starts at the pickup when the crew begins the job and continues through loading, travel between the supplied addresses and unloading. It finishes when the agreed moving work is complete.
Yes. All three displayed package rates include GST: $165 for two movers and a 4.5T extended-body truck, $220 for three movers and an 8T truck, or $242 for three movers and a 10T truck.
Yes. Every package has a two-hour minimum: $330 for the extended-body package, $440 for the 8T package or $484 for the 10T package, including GST.
Your selected package rate stays the same. Stairs, lifts, long carries and restricted parking can increase the time needed, so they change the estimated total rather than creating a separate stair fee.
No. It is a rough range based on the route, move size, inventory and access supplied. NextWave reviews the details and confirms the booking price or hourly terms before the move.
Call us for a personalised quote. Larger homes and moves needing more than a 10T truck require a closer review of the inventory, access, crew and vehicle plan before booking.
