Hi Simo
The cost of living is no cheaper in Australia to the UK (in fact for us its more expensive) but the wages can be lower (again for us thats the case!!).
Your best bet is to do a bit of research on
SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site and see what the average wage is being offered. If you cant find what you need on there then do a google search on average wages in australia and you should find all you need to know.
Do you have your visa yet or are you looking for sponsorship?
Take care
