Cost Of Living

Australia has some of the
world's least expensive cities. The cost of living in
Melbourne,
Adelaide, Brisbane, and
Perth is less than half that of the world's most expensive cities. At the same time, Australia's major cities are all ranked in the world's top 30 for quality of life.

The cost of living in Western Australia is generally lower than in other Australian states. One can expect to pay more per year for rent, transport, and food in Australia's east-coast cities. Prices are relatively low for essentials such as food, drink, and clothes. Manufactured goods, on the other hand, are generally expensive because many are imported.

Prices are in Australian dollars (AUD)
