text: they want to move to australia but does anyone no how when they ant got enough money to buy a house or rent? well i no someone who wants to move to australlia but she has a 13mth old son and only about 3,000 english pounds so how can she move to australlia with a child and only 3,000pound anyone ever done it or no someone who did and how this is all done? cause she wants to start a new life in a different location. thanks . well, as long as she can get a regular job here fairly quickly she should be fine. 3000 pound is about 7,500 aus dollars which is enough to put a deposit on a rental house and pay the rent for a little while (depending on which city she moves to - e.g. sydney is really expensive, adelaide is pretty good and hobart is quite cheap) and probably get a few essential items like a fridge, bed, chair... she might have to do it tough for a while but if she is prepared to work hard she could probably do it. it is going to be quite difficult with a baby though - child care can be very expensive here.
