My would want to work but it would be my income from the start of it. What is a "good" single income salary for a family of 3 for Sydney?

That's really hard to answer, but Aussie wages will be higher most likely than the States or Hawaii would they? My son is a network engineer or something like that lol, and he earns $140k a year in Adelaide. He was on contract work in Melbourne a few years ago and I think the rate was about $80-$100 an hour. I don't know how that compares to what you're getting now?
Our minimum wage is higher, I was cleaning at a University a few hours a week quite a while ago now (hated cleaning), but was getting about $21.50 an hour plus super.
Rents are pretty high in Sydney, so the further out from the CBD you can live, the better, but there is a train system, although I've never lived in Sydney, so you'd have to check out travelling times to wherever your job was. I think you'd be looking at $500-$600 at least for a decent place to rent. That's a week.
