Hey, yes, the living cost depend on the lifestyle. But I guess that an average single person would spend around 2.000 AUD per month wich would also include holidays, going out, a car etc. You could survive with much less, if you share an appartment, don't have a car and don't spend much money on alcohol and party. And if furniture is expensive, you could look for a furnished flat or room. Or you have a look on gumtree and buy furniture second hand. You don't need much money to get what you need and have a good time Cheers

In Perth you def. earn more money and the job situation is better but Brisbane is just so much closer to different cities and nice highlights (Gold Coast, Noosa, Byron Bay, Sydney, Nightcap National Park etc.). WA is great for holidays but for living I would always prefer the east coast. Good Luck!
