Change of Address Checklist

Looking for the best change of address checklist online? 

We’ve tried to compile the most comprehensive change of address checklist, so that you can relax and feel confident that you have notified everyone about your new address.

Moving homes is exciting, but often stressful. There’s a lot to organize, and notifying people of your change of address is something that often gets overlooked. Even if you remember the main ones, it’s likely you’ll forget someone. Therefore, a comprehensive change of address checklist is what you need.

We’ve split our change of address list in two parts:

• Non-Government Organisations

  Our comprehensive checklist is also available as a printable pdf so you can print it and check them off as you do them. (Click to Download our printable change of address list.)

• Government Organisations

  Some Australian state governments have an online change of address service where you fill out one form and it will automatically find all the government departments where they have your address and they will automatically change them all to your new address. Fantastic! We’ve put links to that form under the appropriate state section below. For the other states, we’ve put links to the individual department change of address pages.
