I'll try and answer as truthfully as I can . Job prospects ... You seem to be prepared to do almost any job , so you won't have too many problems getting some type of work . Min Wage .... Expect $15-$15 / Hr as a minimum wage Rent .... All depends where you live . In the Outer Suburbs of Sydney you will pay about $200/ Wk at the minimum for a 1BD flat , but be aware that rents are rising all the time . Nearer the city expect to pay lots more . Transport ... There are good train links to the Western , Southern and South West Suburbs . There are no trains to the Northern Beaches area . Buses tend to be privately operated in the suburbs . Generally transport costs are cheap , but not very reliable and sometimes depending on your location not very frequent also . Overall Monthly expenses .... These will vary greatly depending where you live , however , I think a minimum Monthly outlay of $2500 would seem realistic . Best of luck Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave53 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I have found the official minimum wage award ... It appears I was being a little over optimistic !! The Australian Fair Pay Commission has increased the standard Federal Minimum Wage (FMW) and all Australian Pay and Classification Scales (Pay Scales) by $21.66 per week. The standard FMW has increased from $13.74 to $14.31 per hour. The decision takes effect from the first pay period on or after 1 October 2008.

Guest kkris.san Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 hey dave thx a lot for ur research! it does update our knowledge:) well is it true if one works on sat n sundays..the pay is double? i heard this through a relative krish n san Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave53 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 It all depends who you work for , there are penalty rates for weekend work , it varies from employer to employer but is not a rigid rule or award condition that applies to everyone . In the retail field for example , some employers pay NO increase in pay , and some pay a small increase , nothing like double though !! .. I know no one who earns double the pay rate for Sat or Sun work , and I know a LOT of people . In todays work place , it would be a very rare and lucky person who earned 2X pay for weekends .. Hope this helps Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
