Moving House During the School Term in Brisbane? Here’s How to Do It Right

🏫 Moving Mid-Term? You’re Not Alone — and It Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful

Sometimes you can’t wait until the holidays to move. Whether it’s because of a house settlement, job change, or lease ending, Brisbane families often move mid-school term — and while it adds complexity, it’s totally doable.

At Get It Cheaper, we help you book family-friendly removalists who understand how to work around your home life and school schedules — without the chaos.

📅 School-Term Moves: What Makes Them Different?

  • 👶 Kids still need to be dropped off, picked up, and kept calm

  • 🧸 Packing has to happen around homework and nap schedules

  • ⏰ Strict move windows to avoid disrupting the school day

  • 🚌 Access may be limited by school zones or peak-hour traffic

  • 🎒 Families need to keep kids’ essentials separate and accessible

This isn’t just another house move — you need removalists who respect your time and your routine.

🧠 Tips for a Smooth Move During the School Term

  1. Book movers for midweek, mid-morning (after drop-off, before pick-up)

  2. Label kids’ essentials clearly — uniforms, tablets, books, favourite toys

  3. Use colour-coded boxes for each child’s room

  4. Keep the school routine as normal as possible on move day

  5. Have snacks, devices, and downtime ready if kids will be present
