"(Required)" indicates required fields
Support Beyond Moving Day
Area Orientation helps an employee understand their new destination. Settling-In Support focuses on what happens once they begin actually living there. Questions and practical issues often appear only after arrival.
The employee may still be waiting for household goods. A family may be adjusting to a new school or childcare arrangement. Accommodation-related matters may still need coordination. Other relocation services may also still be underway. NUSS's role is to provide practical support through that transition and help connect the different parts of the relocation.
Settling-In Support Built Around the Employee
There does not need to be one fixed Settling-In package for every employee. NUSS can structure Corporate Relocation Programs around the organisation's:
- relocation policy
- employee entitlements
- relocation type
- approved budget
- employee and family circumstances
That allows the support to reflect the person being relocated rather than requiring every employee to receive the same post-arrival service.
Practical Support Across the Relocation
The exact service should be established for each employee, but Settling-In Support can work alongside the other services already available through NUSS.
Home & Accommodation
Where relevant to the employee's program:
- temporary accommodation
- Home Finding
- rental transition
- household goods delivery
- storage
Family & Education
For employees relocating with children:
- School Search Assistance
- childcare research
- coordination with Home Finding
- Area Orientation
Understanding the Destination
Employees can also use NUSS's Area Orientation service for practical information about:
- neighbourhoods
- transport
- local amenities
- lifestyle options
Orientation can be delivered on an accompanied or virtual/guided basis.
Specialist Relocation Services
Where required:
- immigration-provider coordination
- vehicle relocation
- pet relocation
- international moving partners
- destination storage
NUSS coordinates the relevant provider rather than presenting specialist services as in-house expertise where they are not.
HR Coordination
A dedicated NUSS relocation contact provides the organisation and employee with a central point of communication throughout the agreed relocation services.
This can be particularly useful where several Destination Services are running at the same time.
Settling-In Support Frequently Asked Questions
How is Settling-In Support different from Area Orientation?
Area Orientation helps employees understand their destination, including neighbourhoods, transport and amenities. Settling-In Support helps with practical tasks after arrival, such as driver’s licence updates, accessing healthcare services and cultural briefings. The two services can work together within the employee’s agreed relocation program.
Can Settling-In Support be tailored to the employee?
Yes. NUSS Corporate Relocation Programs can be structured around the organisation's relocation policy, employee entitlements, relocation type and budget.
The support included should reflect the individual employee and family rather than a mandatory standard package.
Can Settling-In Support be used for families as well as individual employees?
Yes. NUSS's Corporate Relocation Services support both individual and family relocations.
Where a partner or children are relocating, services such as Home Finding, School Search, Area Orientation and Settling-In Support can be incorporated into the wider program.
Does NUSS resolve legal, immigration or medical issues for employees?
No. NUSS coordinates practical relocation support. Legal, medical, immigration and other specialist advice should be obtained from an appropriately qualified provider.
Can Settling-In Support be combined with the employee's household move?
Yes. NUSS can provide household-goods relocation including professional packing, transport, storage, delivery and unpacking alongside the wider Destination Services program.
This allows the physical move and post-arrival support to be coordinated as parts of the same broader relocation.
Is Settling-In Support only available for employees moving to Sydney?
No. NUSS supports employee relocations across Australia and internationally through its Australian operations and specialist service-partner network.
The specific Destination Services available will depend on the employee's destination and agreed relocation program.
How long does Settling-In Support last?
The duration and level of support are agreed according to the employee's relocation program and the organisation's requirements.
Does NUSS provide regular reports to HR?
A dedicated NUSS relocation contact provides HR with a central point of communication. Agree the required updates and communication arrangements when the relocation program is scoped.
Can Settling-In Support be extended if the employee needs more assistance?
The service can be structured around the employee's circumstances and the organisation's approved program. If further assistance is needed, discuss the additional requirements with your NUSS contact and employer so the scope and any associated costs can be agreed.
Help Them Arrive, Settle In & Focus on Their New Role
A successful employee move is not simply about getting belongings from one address to another.
NUSS can coordinate practical Destination Services after arrival so the employee and their family have support while establishing themselves, while HR retains a central relocation contact rather than managing every detail directly.
Tell us about the employee, their destination, family circumstances and your organisation's relocation policy, and NUSS can structure the appropriate level of Settling-In Support.
