Home rent, school fees, utility bills, monthly supplies, petrol (all per month)

How are taxes calculated in Australia. Are the taxes paid from the salary automatically.
I am a Post graduate Acoustic engineer with 5 years experience in Architectural and Industrial Acoustic Consultancy in the Middleast.

My family comprises of my wife and three children aged 10, 7 and 4.

What would be the rent of a three bedroom house, School fees per child, Average Petrol expenses for 50Kms per day, Utility bills (water, electricity, parking), food & supplies expense...etc
I am particularly interested in Brisbane. What is the typical rent for a three bedroom apartment/house in Brisbane.

Answer
It depends on your qualifications and profession as to what you can ask for in terms of salary. It also depends on what state you want to live in. For example, Sydney has a higher cost of living (rent, food, petrol) than Brisbane, however, their average pay is more. For people living permanently in Australia, if your kids go to a public school, they are essentially "free" - you'll have to pay for books, uniform, excursions etc. I'm not sure if you're not a permanent resident that you'll get this or not. Petrol depends on where you live. Right now it's between $1.12 and $1.26 per litre for Sydney north (it fluctuates throughout the week). Rent for Sydney (for 4 bedroom) varies depending on the area. Go to a real-estate website in Australia and look up the rental section to get an idea of what you get in what area. Electricity bills depend on how much you use too. Usually a few hundred a quarter for electricity (if you don't have an airconditioner and lots or heaters running all the time). Phone depends on usage + line rental. Maybe if you want to compare countries, a local call at a pay phone is 50 cents flatrate. Water bills may be included in your rent if you live in an apartment.

You may find some useful information about Australia and its people at the Australian Bureau of Statistics (http://www.abs.gov.au/).

Average weekly earnings from the site can be found here : (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/e8ae5488b598839cca25682000131612/ba84bbb55b643021ca2568a90013934e!OpenDocument)
The average weekly earnings is a bit over $1000 per week (before tax).
And Employee earnings here: (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/7d12b0f6763c78caca257061001cc588/27641437d6780d1fca2568a9001393df!OpenDocument)

If you work for someone, taxes are usually taken out of your pay already/automatically. For the average individual, it's roughly 30% of your pay. If you're on a higher tax bracket, money earned above a threshold will be taxed more (I think the highest bracket is roughly 50% tax).
