What's the cost of living and job prospects like in Perth compared to the other major cities in Australia?

Hi,

My family is planning to move to Perth this year, but we heard that the cost of living is high over there. My husband wants to go to Fremantle, is it cheaper to live over there? However, I am more concerned if we could find work easily.

Thanks Lei

Hi Lei,

This site has a really detailed breakdown of the cost of living in Perth, which you should find useful: http://www.aussiemove.com/aus/costlive.asp

Perth would definitely be a bit cheaper than Sydney to live, and possibly cheaper than Melbourne. Apparently Adelaide offers the lowest cost of living of all the major cities in Australia though.

Perth has a very vibrant economy, but I'm not sure how it would compare to Fremantle in terms of finding jobs. I would suggest checking Seek.com.au to see what's available at the moment.

Cheers, Grace
