AFRA supports and regulates the Australian removals industry through advocacy, compliance, education and training. We bring together a professional network of accredited removalists, experienced suppliers and industry stakeholders.
What is AFRA About?
The Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA) is the official regulatory body for the removals industry. They support Australian removalists through advocacy, education, training and compliance.
AFRA monitors removalists closely to ensure that their equipment and trucks meet strict safety standards and that they abide by Australian Work Safety regulations to reduce the risk of injury.
AFRA Training
AFRA-accredited removal companies have access to training systems that ensure removalists are up-to-date with the latest practices and operate by high industry standards.
Regular Inspections
AFRA ensures that removal trucks are kept in good working condition and also checks forklifts and other moving equipment. They also conduct regular office and storage facility inspections.
Public Liability Insurance
AFRA members are required to have Public Liability Insurance policies in place for at least $10,000,000. This ensures that every move is covered in the event of an accident.
Professional Dispute Resolution
If you’ve hired a removalist company and you encounter a problem that can’t be resolved, you can contact AFRA to help with dispute resolution. An AFRA staff member will work with you to mediate a fair resolution for all parties involved.
If you choose an AFRA-accredited removalist to help you move, you can have peace of mind that they will make your move as easy and stress-free as possible.
