Good Morning. Just want to check for insights kung possible po ba. Family of 5, kids ages 15, 9 and 7. Im thinking student visa pero alam ko mahirap ang setup. Ayaw ko kasi mahiwalay sa family as much as possible. I have a relative in Rockhampton na willing tumulong sakin. Appreciate any feedback.
If you will live in Rockhampton, Rockhampton is quite far from Brisbane, as it is a regional area to the north (mga 8 hours drive from Brisbane). Generally cost of living in regional area would be cheaper than big cities, and usually rent ang pinakamalaking expense. If you will live in Brisbane, expect to pay more for rent, especially if you will live close to CBD.
For a family of 5, you'd probably be looking at a 2 or 3-bedroom apartment/house, but there's not a lot of that near the CBD. You can look at realestate.com.au to check weekly rent for specific house sizes. Other expenses will depend on your lifestyle (kung madalas kayo magshopping or gumala sa weekends), at kung kukuha kayo ng car. Regional areas tend to have limited public transport options, so you may have to consider getting a car, especially if there's no direct bus/train from your house to your place of work.
