Too early to repot Japanese maple?

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if it is too early to repot a Japanese Maple ? I'm away for two months in a couple of weeks so I will miss prime repotting time for maples. I figured I can always do it when I get back but was wondering if I did it now would it make a differences, as its dormant ?
Thanks,
Beau

Being that you are at the Gold Coast it shouldn't be a problem re-potting maples now. However, make sure you protect them from frost, if your area is prone to them.

I usually end up doing my Tridents and Chinese Elm in August - if they haven't lost their leaves by then I help them along. I am just now getting some colour in the leaves. So you could leave it until you get back

Done all mine already a couple of weeks ago, been doing the same for years now, never lost any yet

also done all my Chinese elms, getting ready to do the Crepe Myrtles this week too.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I ended up repotting it and I'll do the others (maples and elms) when I get back.
