Depends on which visa you are moving on, or if you have a job to get straight into when you get here. If you don't, you will need some to live on ie housing, food, transportation etc. There is no real set amount you will need, that is, you can have as much or as little as you need to survive.

I am a qualified Gas fitter and it still took 6 months to get a job here, so I would factor in to your calculations enough to survive on for 6 months

I'll send you the account details where the money needs to be deposited

If you apply to come over on a permanent visa (175 etc..) there is no 'requirement', however you need to factor in that you will not be entitled to claim unemployment benefit, and you may not be able to secure employment immediately.
Some arrive with loads of money, others with very little....

sorry, what i meant was, do the australian government like you to have x number of pounds in the bank before you can enter the country? obviously i wouldn't come over without ANY money as that would be silly.
