Declutter Assistance
Downsizing & Relocations
Deceased Estate Clearances

I wish I could give all the stars in the sky to Dinah from Declutter Assistance. I had a very hard task to complete - my Aunt had passed away in Sydney and I am her closest relative - in New Zealand! I had the responsibility of getting her affairs ready for probate and going through her personal effects for her daughter in the UK and removing what was left. I knew this was going to be hard going! So, when I started researching companies that could help, I saw that there are many that advertise as experts in decluttering and estate management. I talked to a few and found them very transactional - not understanding or compassionate. They were interested in the job, not in what was happening that led to the need for me to enquire about their services. With Dinah, this could not have been more different. Dinah showed genuine care and compassion for me as well as the situation I found myself in. We spent time talking about my Aunty as well as my needs. What a difference! I knew my Aunty would have been thrilled to have Dinah help her. In addition to knowing how to declutter, she is connected to an amazing auctioneer, antiques buyer and she really knows how to use the power of social media for those items that could be donated or on sold. She is also connected to a excellent rubbish removal specialist who is helpful, kind and cost effective. I was impressed with her ability to find ways to find new homes for unwanted items in order to avoid having to pay dump fees (and waste items that could have a new life). I also appreciated the clarity with which she communicated - there were no assumptions that I had to make - she is a person of her word. I could book her service with confidence (which I needed, given that I was travelling over from NZ for a set time period) and we were in regular contact leading up to the dates we were working together. For me, payment was super easy - I organised an International Money Transfer via my bank - she had all the information that I needed to make that happen. Did I check the legitimacy of her business? Absolutely! I confirmed that her ABN number was correct using the online search tool and associated with her business and her business address. For me, this was very important! When we did meet, she was on time and had everything she needed to start the project. It was important that I could brief her on what needed to be done so she could be as effective as possible. To say that Dinah and her team are a power house is an understatement! The team works FAST and they are super effective. The approach we took was to take one room at a time and to not stop until it was done. It worked very well. We worked together for two days and we cleared a 2 bedroom house in that time. On the last day, I was feeling pretty frazzled and Dinah took the time to show care and understanding. My needs were always paramount - that is how caring she is. I would not have been able to complete this daunting task without her. She is worth every penny you pay - because you will go a long way to find someone as genuine, caring, honest, professional and effective as Dinah and the team at Declutter Assistance.

Dinah and her team did an incredible job helping us declutter our parents’ house for sale. We used them multiple times. Very reasonably priced. Everyone from the team had a wonderful attitude and made the process a million times easier and quicker. Best money spent!

Amazing group of ladies. Best thing I have ever done. Would definitely hire them again. Very understanding.

We sought Dinah's seniors downsizing assistance for my mother. Dinah's unique brand of kind professionalism and incredible efficiency made a daunting task a smooth, and even enjoyable, experience. We absolutely cannot recommend Dinah highly enough!

Hi, I had to De clutter my space due to recent medical developments. Dinah was great from when I first contacted her. She has got compassion and energy. She was perfect for me and I still use her periodically to keep on top of things. I highly recommend her for your de clutter issues. Marty

The process of Decluttering, downsizing and moving was overwhelming until I found Dinah. I was moving from a 3 bedroom, 2 and 1/2 bathrooms, large lounge/ dining ,separate spacious kitchen with a large roof terrace to a small 2 bed, combined bath/ laundry , small kitchen and living area ,balcony Unit No problem for Dinah and Carolyn The Declutterimg was done with great respect for both me and my “treasures” I never felt pressured, Although I was helped to make a great many decisions to cope with the huge downsizing Dinah organised the whole move which was completed so smoothly As well as all this Dinah helped organise for the sale of some items and some furniture For lots of donations and for rubbish clearing She also organised the final cleaning and then the unpacking into my new, small Unit Dinah and Carolyn were always professional, smiling and supportive I will be forever grateful for all Dinahs help and friendliness Jennifer Griffiths

Dinah performed a miraculous declutter of my retirement unit. The kitchen cupboards, my clothing storage and my miscellaneous items now all make sense and are easy to locate.

I could not be happier with the service provided by Dinah and Caroline. I have a very large house and am moving overseas, the task of sorting and packing too much stuff was just too big. Dinah provided 3 days of “blitz”. They did an amazing job, working incredibly hard the whole time they were with me, getting stuck into all tasks with enthusiasm and skill. On top of packing sorting and labelling, they carried, moved and cleaned. They left my house with car loads of donations each day and helped me sort out waste pick up. I cannot recommend more highly.

I used the Declutter assistance to help me clear out my late mother’s house of 40 years worth of.clutter. Dinah was ontime and honest. Dinah helped me organise into what to keep and what to donate and what to throw out. I highly recommend this service to anyone, Thanks Dinah

Dinah is incredible.She never judges.She is bright and happy.In no time my unit is clear and clean.No clutter. I am delighted.
