Professional move coordination and estate clearing Melbourne
“We want our clients to feel as proud of the finished result as we do.”
We started Handled with Care in 2012 in response to a growing need for services assisting people wanting to relocate or clearing a property.
We found many people overwhelmed by the prospect or time-poor, pulled between looking after themselves and, at times, their parents, their children, and even their grandchildren.
It’s this ‘sandwich generation’ who needs our help, too!
Over time, we’ve broadened our Handled with Care service offering to assist anyone daunted by moving—whether upsizing, rightsizing, downsizing or renovating.
About us
Reassuring, supportive, smooth, efficient, and empowering
Under the direction of founders Sara Meadows and Tanya Nassau, our dedicated team of Melbourne-based move managers understand that every situation is unique.
We provide unwavering support throughout the relocation process to make daunting situations manageable. You’ll have a dedicated manager to help you navigate tough decisions, ensuring a planed and planned and consultative approach where your wishes are always respected.
Directors Tanya and Sara
Meet Tanya
Tanya has had a rich tapestry of experience, completing a degree in psychology, a postgraduate diploma in human resource management and industrial relations, and working in several human resource management and business development roles. Today, she is a co-founder of Handled with Care.
Tanya is extremely professional and personable. She approaches her work with empathy, sensitivity, and meticulous care, treating each client as she would her own family. She has also worked closely with collectors and individuals exhibiting hoarding behaviours. Known for her patience and intuitive understanding of others' needs, Tanya counsels and supports her clients through every stage of decluttering, downsizing, and relocation.
Aside from the love of her work, Tanya treasures her time with her husband, two teenage boys and Evie, her beloved puppy.
Meet Sara
After university, Sara began her career in social work, specialising in adult mental health. She has also worked in corporate people and performance roles across various industries, driven by her love of helping people.
Volunteering in the aged care sector sparked Sara’s idea for Handled with Care—a perfect fusion of her social work expertise and business acumen, dedicated to easing stress for individuals and families during moves or clearing estates. She finds joy in giving back to the community, facilitating countless donations of household belongings for her clients to support those in need.
Beyond her work, Sara cherishes time (and chaos) with her family—her husband, two daughters, and their dog.
