Madam, sa salary naman po magkano ideal sa family of 3( w/ wife and child), ako lang ang magwowork.madami nagsasabi 80k annual hindi daw enough. Considering na wala pa ko local exp. baka mahirapan agad ako makakuha ng malaking sahod.
As I've mentioned before, living costs will vary based on your budgeting and lifestyle. Kung mahilig kayo gumala at kumain sa labas, mapapagastos talaga kayo. Rent takes a big chunk of your income, so you need to really manage your budget well. For a family of 3, you can potentially look at 2BR apartments, but the exact cost will depend on your location. If it's near CBD, expect to pay more (which means you'll have less savings).
Food costs can be relatively affordable if more on home cooking kayo instead of eating out. If you will be sending your child to daycare or extracurricular activities (piano lessons, gymnastics, etc.) or if you will travel around the country, those are additional expenses that you have to budget for. If you're getting a car, you need to consider your rego (registration), insurance, maintenance costs, and petrol/gas. Medicare doesn't cover dental, optical, chiropractor.... so you'll need to purchase Extras health insurance too. If you are supporting family members back home, sending money home is an additional expense too (if you don't, then that's savings for you).
So the amount of income you need to support your family here (and back home) will depend on your personal situation. Yung income mo (whether 80k or not) mababawasan pa yan ng tax, which can be quite steep at the higher brackets (but at least nakikita mo kung saan napupunta yung tax mo). I've read that uni grads would start entry-level work with a salary range of AUD 55-65k. But I suggest you do your due diligence and research into average salary for your profession.
If you're concerned with how much money you can bring in, remember that your first job here doesn't need to be your forever job. It can be temp or short-term work, just enough to support you financially while you're trying to gain local experience. Then when you're more familiar with the Aussie work culture and your professional value, you can change jobs or negotiate for a raise.
