hmmm... apparently you can do jobs like call centre telemarketing they pay a lot and easy to get... as so many jobs available... and not many people want to do... as you will get scolding a lot... the rate is around... 25 per hour i guess... for the tax rates... www.ato.gov.au can help you...

well... yes the food is... 10bucks PER MEAL... and it's the suckiest meal you can get... if you want to get like a PROPER meal... that will cost you around 20bucks... or you can have your MCDs all the time... 5bucks per meal... for me a girl... for a guy... still around 8bucks i think... so... food is expensive... UNLESS... you cook at home... maybe you can survive with 10bucks for 3 meals...

I am really sorry abt my post if its hard for u guys to read

as u guys said students can earn 15k per yr or for 9 months but the point is how by doing which jobs can i earn 15 k AUD in 9 months? can u give some examples and working only 20 hrs a week mind u and also How much percentage of your income do u have to give as tax.
I heard its 33% is it true? if thats true then i have to give 5k aud as tax and  will have 10 k left provided if i earn 15 k per yr and then again i will be 5 k short so how are you guys managing this plz tell me are your parents financing your living costs as well?
How much % percentage Tax do u guys pay and do u get any tax refunds?
About the accomodation if i live further away from uni suburbs the cost will be low but the cost in transport will increase right?  so will it save any money suppose i live near uni give $200/week and if i live further renting 180/week but the cost of transport is $20 to $30/week then its a loss right

Are guys really serious about the Food?? I Mean $10/meaL Cmon??
we eat three meals a day so it will $30 /day and $900/month only on meals ? DamN or is it $10/day in three meals??

No offense.. I heard that it was really hard to get a telemarketing job or whatever as an overseas student.  They ain't really diggin' the accent.

really? but how come so many indians doing that?

OH YEA, if you want to be a TAXI DRIVER too!! so many indians doing... and they actually making quite a bit...

but then again, dont plan to earn your tuition fees OR even daily expenses here... pretty hard though... unless you are really good and lucky and hard working and PRETTY!! HAHHAHAHAHA... my friend could work like a super girl, and she is pretty and hardworking... she used to work everyday... and in those restaurants where they pay 20bucks per hour + 100bucks tips a day... so... it depends AGAIN... normal people CANT do that!!

Meals wise, I'd say $8 to $9 a meal on average should be decent enough, it'd be a lot cheaper if you cook yourself.

come let's have a MELB gathering at desserts house... muahahahahahaha~

Or got relatives in here in Australia (ehehe like me) no need to worry so much about dinner..lunch still have to buy though   

The tax rate in Australia
0-6000 no tax
6000-30,000 portion 15% tax

thats probably all u need to know for tax, for work im thinking $25p/h is quite a generous estimate, I would say more 15-22 depending on what you do, for example the bigger supermarkets such as coles and woolworths for anyone older than 20 pay almost $20, however it is hard for overseas students to get these jobs. Also telemarketting, everyone hates telemarketers I really dont think its a job u want to do.

Meals, I would def recommend learning to cook, the food is pretty shit on the cheap end, and even the expensive stuff sometimes - but u have to remember other stuff like toiletries, etc tissues it really adds up. i think 2 minute noodles is going to be a steady diet. yup i would say $10 a meal easy for very average food.

Well u guys forgot one thing the tax for non residents in 29% see hereas u gave me the link http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content....ntent/12333.htm
so u most of u ppl are non residents right so u have to 29% and does international students get tax refund or returns? did u guys get any refunds and how much tax did u pay?

How does your friend perform academically?

The issue is you come here primarily to obtain a good education, not to work, but I guess some people have different goals.

As for the expanses all i am asking is that i know most of ur parents pay for the tuition fees but what about the living costs? Does Parents Pay 15K AUD per yr as well or do u manage or most of u guys manage your own living costs for the whole yr by doing part time jobs? 

plz tell me how u guys do that.
And as for transport if i suppose live in place in Sydney where a single room costs #$150/week how much further will it be from UNSW in KM?
And how will i get to UNSW what will be the cost of transport per day, any Idea?

dun wan ler..desserts house eatery tat in swaston street? ..better nasi lemak house or...err sambal kampung  or err. sumwhr worth Malaysian

hmmm... well malaysian food wise... laksa king at new market, malaymas at brunswick and the straits at doncaster... they serve pretty good malaysian food... i hate nasi lemak house... mainly because the BOSS that is so unfriendly...

havent been to sambal kampung though...

fuwah... your this question, sounds like you SUSPECT that she is not a good performer? i am so sorry, she was the TOP performer instead, she did that just because she HAD to, as she was having financial difficulties, not that lucky to have support from family, she was supporting herself for her living costs... and so she satisfied the primary goal GOOD EDUCATION at the same time making money...

Laksa King is probably the best Malaysian food in the whole of Melbourne, but still it's not as good as the authentic ones we get back home T_T

Nasi Lemak house is ... I guess everyone has a problem with the auntie boss there... Food-wise it's not exactly great either. Laksa King's nasi lemak is much better than the so-called Nasi Lemak house.

厨意at Franklin has pretty good Chinese cuisine, but the price is slightly steep... worth it though, esp if go with a bunch of people.

will be going to uni of melb around july 13-15th(tickets havent been confirmed, apparently for student price, they tend to delay confirming it... ), apartment starts on 16th, whats the first thing i should do when i get there?

ouh, and anyboyd know if melbourne student house on vale street is a good place? just paid for it yesterday, hopefully idp contacts them immediately(went through idp for accom) cos the deadline is on tuesday XD

ouh and why do you guys say that idp isnt helpful when it comes to accommadation? cos i was sceptical at first after reading this thread but found them to be very...... accommodating
