Hello, I'm a student living alone in Sydney no family but hope this could help you sort out your expenses.

Rent (Private room) + bills included (net, gas, electricity) - 170 to 280 (depende sa location and type ng bahay) per week if di ka naman mapili you can share room with others. Cheaper price is 120 per week (Before coming here, explore flatmates.com.au, Gumtree Australia or any groups in Facebook if you want Filo rommie or housemates
Transpo - 30 to 40 / week
Food - 60 / week (di ako masyado nagluluto kase ako Lang mag isa pero meron naman ready meals dito yan binibili ko)
Phone plan (text, call and data) - $80/month
Mahal kase load mas makakasave if kuha nalang ng phone plan, if di naman $30/month for recharge for 20gb data 😅
Miscellaneous - $100/month (reward sa self gala or whatnot)

Yong gastos mo of living here is mag depende sa lifestyle mo ☺️
