Question 1

Can I complete my connection online?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! That's the benefit of using the BeMoved service. In just a few minutes, and without any annoying phone calls or sitting on hold, we can get your connection sorted and tick that task off your list.

Question 2

How much notice do I need to give to connect electricity and gas at my new address?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the provider you choose, but it's always recommended to give at least a few days notice where you can. It's worth remembering that electricity and gas can only be connected on weekdays (not weekends or public holidays).

Question 3

Do I need to be at the new address to get connected?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no, no one will need to be at the home when the connection is turned on. You'll likely have to make sure the elecitricity supply is switched off on the main switchboard, though. The provider will give you instructions once your application is submitted.

Question 4

What energy providers does BeMoved partner with?

Accepted Answer

We partner with Australia's top-tier providers, including Energy Australia, Origin and AGL.

Question 5

Why do I need to provide personal details?

Accepted Answer

Your personal information is required to pre-fill your utility connection application. We will ask for your full name, mobile phone number and email address. Once you have chosen your provider and plan, you'll also be asked for your ID details, date of birth and address. These are required by the energy companies to process your application.

We do not disclose or sell your personal information to anyone, and collecting these details is for the sole purpose of arranging and facilitating your utility connection (as per the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988). BeMoved Privacy Policy.

Question 6

How is the BeMoved service free?

Accepted Answer

The providers pay a fee to BeMoved when you connect electricity or gas using the BeMoved service. This does not affect the price you pay, nor the plans or options available for you to choose.
