ICR offers "comprehensive assistance programs" for executives who need to be immediately productive upon arrival in a new location, as well as "Design your own Relocations Programs" for those who want to select from the large menu of services offered including: cross-cultural awareness training, orientation, homesearch, immigration, repatriation, relocation and expatriate management, education and consulting. 

ICR supports the transferee and their family, and provides HR support and account management services to the employer. 

In the last 12 months, Toll Technologies has also acquired Removals Australia, and a majority stake in movinghome.com.au. 

Removals Australia provides the Australian Defence Forces and other Government agencies with removals services, through the "value-for-money" management of the largest panel of removalists in Australia, moving personal effects and furniture, cars, boats and pets as well as arranging office and workplace relocations.

The three businesses together present an unparalleled relocations offering to clients in both the corporate and government sectors as well as individuals. 

ICR Principal, Margaret Kelly, says, "it is exciting to look at the opportunities ahead, now we can offer our existing and new clients such a broad range of relocation and management services, supported by sophisticated information technology and account management infrastructure that Toll brings to the venture".
