It's best to get the ball rolling at least 2-3 weeks before your moving date.
How much will it cost?
We don’t charge additional fees to move a broadband service, but in some cases you may need to pay activation fees to cover the cost of establishing a connection at your new address. You can look up these fees below.
Stick with us and save - if you take up a new 24-month broadband contract at your new address, we’ll waive your broadband activation fees. Not only that, but we’ll also waive any iiNet broadband contract break fees from the connection at your old address.
Activation fees
Activation fees vary depending on the type of broadband being connected at your new address. To find out what's available in your area, check your new address on our website.

Non-standard installations may attract additional costs from our wholesaler - the technician will be able to quote these costs if applicable.
What happens if a previous occupant has left services connected?
If a previous tenant/owner has left an active phone or broadband service at your new address, we’ll need some paperwork (Proof of Occupancy documents) from you before we can proceed with your relocation.
Once we’ve received valid Proof of Occupancy documents, you should be connected within 10 business days, but 3-5 business days is common.
Proof of Occupancy documents
- Lease; or
- Rental Agreement (a.k.a. Residential or Commercial Tenancy Agreement); or
- Signed Contract of Sale (must be signed, and include settlement date); or
- Statutory Declaration from the new occupant PLUS a utility bill for a fixed-line service with a service address (e.g. rates, power, water); or
- Statutory Declaration from the property owner PLUS a rent receipt; or
- Statutory Declaration from the property owner PLUS a bond payment receipt; or
- Letter from the real estate agent PLUS a rent receipt; or
- Letter from the real estate agent PLUS a bond payment receipt.
Can I keep my home telephone number?
You can keep your phone number* in the vast majority of cases.
Exceptions:
- You move to a different geographical call zone/area code, e.g. interstate.
*Not available for all carriers
What if I’m moving overseas?
Sadly, we can't provide telecommunications services outside of Australia. Please see this advice on closing your account.
For temporary overseas trips, we can help determine if keeping your account active for the duration of your trip would be more convenient and cost-effective than closing your account and re-opening it upon your return.
