Cost of Living in Melbourne

What salary can be expected by a CA with 13 years experience & what are the job prospects as of now?

Hi

What would be the ideal monthly cost of living for a family of 3 (Including 10 year old children) in Melbourne?

What about rented house for single person per month and including utilities per month (Australia)

Hi Raj,

200k should be good enough for family of 6 considering you will be on PR. In that case considering your kids going to public school. Saving depends on you, but you will pay around 37% as tax and for 6 person family you will almost spend 5k~6k per month on an avg.

hello. i'm a software engineer coming to australia with a family of 6. is 200k salary enough for us to live and save

Any suggestions on annual income for a single person moving from the US to Australia? To live comfortably not just barely get by.

Hi every one please suggest me 10500 AUD is sufficient for me or not with wife and children

Doing this for school so trash but also good. I don’t know we’re the low and height market is!,

How much salary of an welder fabricator in melbourbe, better if someone knows the lowest and the highest salary... And which suburb cheaper to leave, ringwood or croydon?

As an international student who lives in Melbourne, I think you can live much cheaper than what you have seen here. Most of the prices are higher than usual and normal one. If you buy your groceries from ALDI or COLES, I think you can manage all groceries $150-250 a month!!! Utilities (water, electricity and heat) vary but if you share an apartment with others, the whole cost would be around $50 monthly in average. You can get phone sim-card from Catchconnect or Kogan, 3G data, unlimited nationalwide calls and text for just $15. You can find other options on their websites. Do not waste your money to get a shitty products from Telstra, Vodafone or Optus!!! The most expensive part of living in Melbourne is rent!! If you wanna rent a private room in an apartment, you would pay $200-300 weekly but in suburbs outside of CBD it might be cheaper $150-250 weekly. So suppose to what I have experienced here, for having a standard and normal life in Melbourne, all expenses besides the rent is something around 250-350 monthly. The rent would be $150-300 weekly depends on where you are planning to live.

Childcare costs vary even in the same neighbourhood. When we first arrived in 2011, we were paying 105 aud/ day in St Kilda. Now we are paying 180 aud/day in Camberwell. Centrelink pays back 7500 aud per year. Total madness! Many Australian women stopped working for this very reason. And as being the most apolitical society in the world, you can’t see any protests anywhere in Melbourne.

Hi to everyone,
I want to know what monthly salary is enough to live a normal life in Melbourne?

Have pursue very seriously -- please me help on natural contact with Australian Police on decide my Immigration case.Russian FSB DOING EVERY DAY PERSECUTE -PURSUE AND NO DOING JUSTICE.

I've been living in melbourne my whole life, and first of all - you can't even get 60 Mbps internet (which stands for megaBITS per second, and is actually 6 megaBYTE per second) unless you have a residency with fiber connection (which not very many do, and even then you'll struggle to get 6 megabytes per second). The national average is less than 1 megabyte per second, and living in the city, paying $55 per month you will get close to 2 megabytes per second.

Also, I have no idea how you came to those numbers for rent/buy. If you're going by average, that is a bad way to calculate a useful number for people because the extremely expensive and opulent apartments will throw off the number by a large margin. You can rent in the city for around $500 per room, per week easily and they will be very modern and spacious apartments. Rent outside the city is more like $300 per room per week for very large private houses with a pool. Some people rent decent houses for less than $100 per week.

Please advise if you can....

#ali where do you stay? Which street apartment complex

Hi to everyone,

As an Australian who spends time in both Melbourne and London I would dispute the prices quoted here

I find Australia more expensive for most things compared with the UK, especially food which would say is about 50% more expensive than the supermarkets in the UK. Eating out is particularly expensive in Melbourne, there are very few mid price restaurants where you can eat for $40 per head. Mains are typically $25-35, entre typically $15-20 and similar for deserts. A decent bottle of wine will set back at least $50 on top. I can eat much cheaper in London and food quality is good.

Don't believe me just do the checks yourself on line. Compare you local shop in Waitrose/Tesco/Aldi etc with Coles and you'll see what I mean

Hi there,
I got a job offer with a Big 4 Consulting firm in Melbourne. We are a couple (27m,25f) and we were planning to move over to Melbourne this November. Is 10000AUD or 6600AUD (after tax and superannuation deduction) per month good enough to spend life in Melbourne? What would be the expenses in terms of 1 BHK apartment, utilities (gas/electric/water/garbage/internet), health insurance, fooding? Most importantly, do I need to renegotiate or go ahead with the current situation.
Thank you!
