Entertainment - you would need to be specific since that is too broad an area
Clothing - again it depends on where you shop.
Taxes - can be found through the Australian Tax Office website - I think that's in the 'PLEASE READ.....' post.

Hi Ma'am Karen...

I tried to review the discussion first before posting... I guess it's my mistake, I didn't noticed the Australian Tax Office website. Since I'm new in this forum, I am very excited to join the discussion. This will make a reminder for me.

Thank you very much,
Patricia

The figures usually state whether they are weekly or monthly.

Hi Karen,

Very good information shared by you. I am coming to SA in Feb'10 on 475 visa. We are two people me & my wife. How much money do you think we should bring with us in AUD$?
We both have to look out for the jobs once we arrive there.

Regards,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,

How long is a piece of string?

Take a look at some of the real estate links in the 'PLEASE READ...' sticky post to get an idea is rentals since that will be your biggest expense. Be aware that you may need a bigger bond deposit because you won't have a credit history. Look at some of the recently arrived posts that members are putting on here since some of them mention costs - it'll be more expensive than you think to get set up.

Regards,
Karen
