Who are the Australian Furniture Removers Association?

AFRA is an official body of removals experts that helps regulate the removals industry.

AFRA is made up of removals experts from a variety of backgrounds, including professional removalists, truck drivers, and policy experts, just to name a few.

The association works closely with Government departments to help improve the industry and protect consumers and AFRA accredits only those furniture removalists that have the necessary equipment, vehicles, premises and staff training needed to complete a professional move.

This process and audit is conducted yearly with all 350 Furniture removal companies that are members of AFRA.
