Is the salary of an Assistant in Nursing enough to live a decent life in Australia?

Movin from the states. Due to research the apparent yearly income is about AU$30,947 to AU$49,054 as a minimum. I will have a room mate. If you can give me any output. I'd so greatly appreciate it.

    Anything above 40 000 should be okay. The median Australia worker was earning around 45 000 a few years ago. Do a lot of shopping before you leave! You'll be shocked once you see our prices.

    You wouldn't be able to live the high life on the income of an AIN as it is a very low paid job - $30,947 is minimum wage and I doubt if you would get much more than that until you have several years experience.

    More to the point though is that the occupation isn't eligible for any Australian work visa even with employer sponsorship. You would be able to work here on a Work and Holiday visa for up to 12 months (max. 6 months with each employer) but at the end of that time, you would have to leave the country.

    Mean annual earnings as at August 2010 (the latest available) were $53,820 and average adult earnings (November 2011) were $72,254.
