Hi there Alistair,
Bugs are bugs. You will get them all over the country. I know that you'll get more snakes in Perth than you would in Melbourne, but spiders are probably about the same. I am THE worst arachnophobe and it filled me with dread at the thought of the large huntsman spiders...but as was told to me before I moved over, you just have to get on with it. We have quite a few daddy longleg spiders (we're in Melbourne by the way) and I've only seen a few huntsmen (here a link to a thread I did earlier about my first encounter My first encounter of the eight legged kind ).
With regard to job prospects in the IT industry, you'll be much better off trying Melbourne...we were originally thinking of moving to Perth but found work here a bit easier.
