Will you be the sole wage earner? I wouldn't be accepting that personally unless it was for part time work!

Yep, it's a bit on the low side to be able to give you a relatively comfortable lifestyle.

does that include Super? For a starter you will do fine (coming with a job in hand is better than none) but in a couple of months you would want to change. spend first 6 months in this position and then look for an offer that pays you atleast 80-90 including super (and i said atleast). You will get close to 400/fortnight for your son from centrelink. Once you settle in, put your son in kindercare, with your wife working things will be better.

Super - Superannuation --> Pension fund. (Similar to PF in India)

As per wiki below - for your info

Superannuation is a retirement (including pensions) program in Australia. It has a compulsory element whereby employers are required by law to pay an additional amount based on a proportion of an employee's salaries and wages (currently 9%) into a complying superannuation fund.

Cheers.
