hello jhae

ive been to australia just this year as a tourist...

i must say australia is a nice place to work as a nurse

however just to answer you question a 20 hour/week work will not

be sufficient for you to pay everything... rents are paid

usually a week ranging from 400/week to 1000/week electricity not included

the standard of living in australia is high, it helps to have a relative there...

minimum wage would be around AUD 17/ HOUR

i have a question for you any update on you visa application?

$1000/wk! That's a bit steep. Where in Australia was that?

I'm in Melbourne - my two bedroom apartment in Hawthorn (which is 20 min east of the CBD by tram) just went up to $1300/month. I live alone - if I shared my rent and utilities would be $800/month and I could drop that by 20% by moving only a little further out.
