What's the cost of child care in Melbourne for a 3-4 year old?

And what's the starting age for school in Australia? I have one child who is 2 and twins who are 4.

Children need to be at least 5 years of age to start school and don't legally need to attend school until 6 years of age. http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au/living-in-victoria/education-and-childcare/primary-schools

Childcare costs about $50-$100 a day, but much of that can be claimed back through the family tax benefit system. There is more information here: http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au/living-in-victoria/education-and-childcare/childcare
