As days pass by, people tend to look for ways to improve their life in many terms possible. Changes are inevitable, that we tend to be not in control of the things that are happening around us. Changes that sometime we want to have for us to improve like relocation, a better career, a new house or whatever that is not normally in our possession or not in our reach.
As I've watched the news, I came across about job vacancies in abroad particularly in Australia dn Canada. And it is related to my current career as an accountant. It gets my interest because, ever since, I really wat to work outside the country. And Australia is one of my option where I want to work. But first, I need to attain a working visa for that. I just wonder, how much do I need to earn in Australia in order for me to live worry-free? Costs that will be included are apartment rent, food allowance, transportation allowance and aome miscellaneous expenses.
For all Australians out there or anyone who can give some idea about it, your help will be highly appreciated.

hi i live on the central coast of n.s.w. australia, about an hours drive north of sydney.i am not sure what an apartment would cost to rent,that would depend on whereabouts you want to stay.i suppose you would be looking at $200.00 to $300. a week in sydney possibly more.petrol is about $1.40 a litre.public transport is reasonably cheap.food i suppose it depends on what you eat,but it is reasonable as well.different states of australia are cheaper than sydney. i hope this helps you a bit.cheers sue
