Moving from Canberra to Hobart
Canberra to Hobart removalists, door to door
Moving from Canberra to Hobart or anywhere in Tasmania means crossing Bass Strait. We plan the whole trip: our crews load in Canberra, the Bass Strait crossing is booked as part of your move, and your furniture is delivered door to door in Tasmania.
Over 90 moves from the ACT to Tasmania since 2014, from Dawson’s own job records. Family-owned since 1927 and AFRA accredited, we move Canberra families interstate every week from our depot at 8 Sleigh Place, Hume.
How much does it cost to move from Canberra to Hobart?

Moving from Canberra to Hobart
We move families between the mainland and Tasmania every week, and our Rowville depot in Melbourne sits on the way. Your furniture travels by road to Melbourne (about 660 km), then across Bass Strait, so we agree your pick-up and delivery dates with you before moving day.
Tips for your Canberra to Hobart move
- The ferry crossing is part of our plan and price; you don’t need to book it for your furniture.
- Tasmania has biosecurity rules on fruit, plants and soil, so leave these out of your boxes.
- Allow extra time in winter, when Bass Strait sailings can be affected by weather.
