Corporate relocation support built around people
For most businesses, a relocation is not simply about moving belongings from one address to another. There is an employee or family preparing for a major change, an employer working to a timeframe and budget, and often several moving parts that need to line up.
Palmers works with businesses and their employees to coordinate household relocations within Australia and overseas. Depending on the move, that can include packing, transport, storage, delivery and other relocation requirements that need to be organised along the way.
We can work directly with the employee, with your HR or mobility team, or with both. The aim is to keep communication clear, understand what is included from the beginning and make the physical move one less thing for everyone to manage.
What Palmers can coordinate for employee relocations
Household moving
Local, interstate and international transport of an employee’s household belongings, planned around the origin, destination and timing of the assignment.
Professional packing
Full or partial packing can be arranged depending on the employee’s requirements, including preparation for interstate or international transport.
Storage
Short- or longer-term storage can be incorporated when accommodation, assignment dates or delivery timing do not line up.
International relocation
For employees moving overseas, Palmers can coordinate the household-goods move alongside export documentation, customs requirements and destination delivery arrangements.
How an employee relocation works
Understand the relocation
We confirm who is moving, the origin and destination, expected dates, the approximate volume of belongings and any requirements set by the employer.
Plan the move
The employee can speak with our team about access, packing, storage, timing and the most suitable moving service for their relocation.
Coordinate with the employee and employer
Where required, Palmers can keep the nominated business contact updated while working directly with the employee on the practical details of the move.
Pack, move and store where needed
Our team coordinates the physical relocation, including professional packing and storage where these form part of the agreed service.
Deliver at destination
Delivery is arranged around the employee’s availability and the requirements of the move, including destination coordination for international relocations.
Employee relocations within Australia
An interstate transfer can involve considerably more than booking a removal truck, particularly when an employee is moving their household to another city for work.
Palmers can coordinate the household move from the employee’s current home through to delivery at the new address, with professional packing and storage included where required.
For businesses relocating more than one employee, moves can also be coordinated under a broader relocation arrangement so there is a clearer point of contact for the organisation and a more consistent experience for employees.
International employee relocations
International assignments add another layer of planning, with shipping, documentation, customs requirements, transit times and destination delivery all needing to be coordinated.
Palmers’ international team manages household-goods relocations from Australia to destinations worldwide, including professional packing, export preparation, shipping and destination arrangements.
Where an employee’s accommodation or assignment dates do not line up with the shipment, storage can also be incorporated into the relocation plan.
Working with HR and mobility teams
Businesses need visibility over a relocation without becoming involved in every packing carton, access question and delivery detail.
Palmers can work with your nominated business contact while communicating directly with the employee about the practical requirements of their move. The arrangement can be agreed from the beginning, including quoting, approvals, service inclusions and who should receive updates throughout the relocation.
For organisations managing recurring employee moves, we can also discuss a more consistent relocation process across multiple assignments.
How we can work with you
- A clear point of contact for the organisation
- Agreed quoting, approvals and service inclusions
- Direct coordination with the relocating employee
- Updates to the nominated business contact where required
- Support for one-off relocations or recurring employee moves
Why businesses work with Palmers
A corporate relocation still needs to work for the person moving. Palmers coordinates the practical side of the move while keeping the organisation’s requirements in view.
One point of contact
A nominated business contact can coordinate the relocation with Palmers while our team works directly with the employee on the practical details of their move.
Moving, packing and storage together
Household transport, professional packing and storage can be planned as part of one relocation rather than managed separately.
Domestic and international capability
Palmers can support employees moving within Australia or relocating overseas, with the service planned around the destination and requirements of the move.
Support for one move or many
We can assist with an individual relocation or discuss a more consistent process where your organisation has employees moving regularly.
Additional relocation support
Some employee moves involve more than the household-goods shipment itself. Where additional support is required, Palmers can discuss what needs to be coordinated as part of the wider relocation.

Relocation coordination
We can coordinate the practical moving requirements with the employee and nominated business contact, including timing, packing, transport, storage and delivery.
Temporary storage
Storage can be incorporated where accommodation, assignment dates or shipment timing do not line up.
Destination coordination
For international moves, our team can coordinate the household-goods shipment through to destination delivery, including the relevant shipping and customs requirements.
Additional moving requirements
If the employee has requirements outside the standard household move, let us know early so we can confirm what Palmers can assist with or coordinate.
