What is corporate relocation?

Corporate relocation is the support an employer provides when a staff member moves for work. It usually covers area advice, housing search, schools for the family, utilities and settling-in support, and is engaged and paid for by the employer rather than the employee.

How much do corporate relocation services cost in Brisbane?

Support is quoted per employee against a defined scope, from a single area orientation day through to full family relocation management. Indicative starting points for individual services are $650 for an orientation day, $1,950 for a planning package and $3,500 for full management. We confirm a fixed fee before the assignment begins.

How far in advance should we engage support?

Six to eight weeks before the start date is comfortable, and it gives the family a realistic shortlist of rentals and school options. Shorter timeframes are workable, though the choice narrows.

Do you support the employee's partner and children?

Yes. Partner and family settling-in is usually where a relocation succeeds or stalls, so school research, community introductions and practical local orientation are part of the scope.

Can you support several relocations at once?

Yes. Where an organisation is relocating a group of employees, the work is scoped across the group and quoted accordingly.

Do you cover the Sunshine Coast as well as Brisbane?

Yes. We support relocations across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the wider South East Queensland corridor.

Recruiting a senior employee from interstate or overseas is a significant investment. What happens outside the workplace - where the family lives, whether the children are settled, how quickly the partner finds their feet - is what decides whether the appointment holds.

Executive Relocations provides local relocation support for businesses, recruiters and organisations bringing employees and their families to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. We act as a trusted local point of contact so the employee can focus on the role they were hired for.

Support can be scoped tightly around a single orientation day, or extended across the full arrival period. Either way, the fee is fixed and agreed before the assignment begins.

How a corporate relocation runs

Scoping call with HR

We confirm the assignment, the family situation, the start date and the budget, then set a fixed fee against a defined scope.

Employee briefing

A direct conversation with the employee and their partner about work location, schools, housing style and what matters to them.

Search and orientation

Area orientation, shortlisting, inspections and honest local feedback, so decisions are made on the ground rather than from listings.

Arrival and settling in

Utilities, services, school introductions and a local contact for the questions that surface in the first months.

Report back to HR

You get a clear picture of where the relocation landed, without needing to chase the employee for updates.
