What are the average housing and living expenses in Sydney?
Most likely you will rent a room in an apartment or house with other teachers or with Aussies, and of course it depends on where you choose to live. A pleasant, small 2 to 3 bedroom house in Sydney is about AUD $2000 to AUD $5000 per month. Apartments are available for less. It’s possible to find rental accommodation for AUD$250 a week for a single room apartment within half an hour of the city, though AUD$350 to AUD$400 per week is more common.
