Hey thanks for the info! I think an accountant would definately be the go.
We're not afraid of hard work, we just dont want to do 30 years of it and realise our life has been nothing but.
Is it common for employers to pay for living expenses?

Living and working overseas does not necessarily mean tax free!!
The cost of living here is VERY high.
An average 1 bed apartment will set you back around $40,000 AUD.(per year, paid up front )
Saving huge amounts would be possible if A) you made HUGE amounts of money B) ALL of your living costs were paid up front by your employer (housing, utilities etc)
I dont believe personal trainers earn to much here, not sure about yourself..
I dont believe this is the place to earn the bigbucks short term....maybe over 5 + years...and that is by working REALLY hard
The work environment is very different to most in Oz...the hours here tend to be a lot longer, and the travel to + from work for most people can be very long (+ stressful).......
