GoldcoastMAD Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi all, Two part question ive not really thought about it until now but I have applied for a 189 visa adding my wife and two children onto it. Is the wife okay to work ? She is a self employed photographer here? second question: following on from another post I've just read , would $75,000 a year be enough for a familiy of four to live on in Brisbane / gold coast area? Just until My wife's photography business picks up? My calculations tell me It would be tight , but fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gin100 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 First question - yes, a dependent on a 189 permanent residents visa can work, there are no restrictions I'm aware of on this. Can't help with the second question I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yes, she can do what ever she wants. $75k would be pretty tight. It is actually the figure we have calculated as our survival point - the amount we need just to keep a roof over our heads, bills and food. We are a family of two - no children.

GoldcoastMAD Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah 75k is my minimum figure , but most likely salary from what I can find on the jobs market . I live off 27k here easily ( excluding my wife's salary ) we just save her salary at the moment . According to my calculations 75 k should leave us with 1k a month.......but I could be wrong .
