MORE ABOUT US
The Queer Moving Company
Moving is stressful, invasive and personal and we have first hand experience that the removalist industry can be a toxic place full of aggression and homophobia. Experiencing this, we longed for an option that made both our employees and our customers feel safe. We wanted a workplace where a trans person could comfortably transition, we wanted an atmosphere where we felt welcome and safe. Rather than go out looking we thought the best thing would be to give our own community that option. A service where you can be 100% certain won’t hold prejudice or ignorance when they come to work for you. A moving company you could trust and feel comfortable around. A moving company that had certain standards around customer service and how any customer or member of the general public can expect to be treated. Quite simply we created a service that should exist in the moving industry but doesn’t. We are Queer Move, queer removalists.
MEDIA & FEATURES
Some folx have said some nice things about us! Check them out below!
SHINING A LIGHT ON LGBTQ+ OWNED BUSINESSES
“Driving a big pink truck that says Queer on it is my way of showing other queer people they can start other visibly queer small businesses. If Queer Move can assert ourselves in the wider community it can make other queer people asserting themselves seem less daunting.”
MEET THE REMOVALISTS DEDICATED TO HELPING LGBTQIA+ MELBURNIANS MOVE HOUSE SAFELY
"From that stubbornness birthed a welcoming, non-judgmental, and safe service catering to queers and allies, servicing across Melbourne and occasionally regional Victoria. Queer Move is also, simply, just a great moving service."
MEET QUEER MOVE, MELBOURNE'S MOST INCLUSIVE REMOVAL SERVICE
“Queer Move is about creating a safe workspace for queer folk, and providing a comfortable and reliable service. It's about us being able to pay rent and work in a place where we can be ourselves, while also being able to turn up to someone's house as a stranger without them worrying what we're going to think or what we might believe.”
INSURANCE
As a business we have both Public Liability and Transit Insurance which you can find a copy of below. This only cover defined events that occur to the truck in transit - such as the truck rolling over or being hit - not individual items. This is true of all moving companies, even the ones that say they are fully insured. While we take as much care of our customers' belongings as possible, we cannot insure against damage to individual items.
If an item is damaged during your move, inform the lead removalist immediately, they will take photos and document the events that lead to the damage. If you discover damage to your items as you unpack, please take photos and inform us within 2 days of the move completion. After 2 days post-move we are unable to take responsibility for any damage.
As no individual items are insured, we cannot offer replacements to damaged items. The lead removalist will offer you half an hour off your total bill OR will take the item back to base for assessment and possible repair. If you are concerned about specific items or damages that may occur during engaging our service, you can acquire moving insurance to cover individual items. By law, we cannot offer advice, guidance or recommendations for moving insurance, nor can any moving company.
To speak plainly- if you have any items worth more than $90 that you would want replaced if it got damaged -
you should consider getting moving insurance.
