for a 4 bed house with pool in Brisbane I'm paying

60 for home phone/broadband TPG
120 for two mobiles with Telstra
37.75 for contents insurance with AAMI
224 for electricity with AGL

that's my house expenses, on top I have go cards, shopping, gym, swimming/tennis/dancing for kids, nurseries and after school, if you need any help with all that let me know.

Medicare, zero, we have medicare cards, not planning any expenses, just brush your teeth

we had to pay 4 weeks bond and 4 weeks to secure the rental although this was then taken as the first 4 weeks rental.

Here is one example of before/after school care fees:

2011 Fees and Charges (before Commonwealth Child Care Benefit reductions)

Before School Care: $10.00
After School Care (includes afternoon tea): $16.00
Vacation Care and Pupil Free Day: $36.00


NOTE: If a permanent resident the govt reduces these costs by half for everybody (in the form of a rebate) - this is not income tested. Some get even more than half back depending on their income.

Gas $33 per month for hot water and stove top.
Mobile $42 per month
