It does depend where in Australia you intend to settle that will affect the level of salary you can expect and general living costs - ie the main one being housing.

A question on costs for living in Brisbane has recently been asked by scrawni, with several replies that should give you guidance.

There are also several websites for estate agents that you can get an idea of size of housing for cost (renting or buying).

Mercer's Cost of Living survey http://www.imercer.com/International...g_rankings.asp gave Dubai an indicies of 75.6 compared to 62.2 for Sydney and 50.2 for Brisbane in the year 2002.

Doing the maths suggests 18-33% average reduction in cost relative to Dubai. Of course you'll need to compare salaries as well.
