i think i might be a bit too late but 've used a company called backloads twice. they've been good & reasonably priced (imo) both times. i was also impressed at the speed they did things & they moved our plasma tv without any problems.
i liked them as well because they charged from the time they arrived rather than from their depot (which some do).
We used Grace Removals when we moved from Melbourne to Brissy last year and they were really good (a friend of mine also used them to move from Melbourne to Sydney and was also very happy with them). They do the dismantling of any furniture if you request that up front when you book the move in.
As with all moves, I would strongly suggest getting insurance. They have a number of policies to choose from. We got comprehensive and ended up getting an entire new $3k lounge suite because they scuffed the old one slightly! They also do long and short term storage. Check their website out.
...and no, I don't work for them, haha
Good luck with the move.

The last move we did within Melbourne we used Kents and were very happy with them. They were also used when my workplace moved. Pretty sure they charge by the hour, 2 guys and a truck.
As for getting your own truck, I have had friends take over a month to move themselves that way. The truck was not big enough, so they had to do car trips for weeks following to get the last of their stuff across. In the end the cost of petrol and thankyou gifts to the friends that helped them totalled more than what a professional would have charged to do it all on the one day.
