Well, you don't say how well off you are, and I don't know what the standard of living is in Jordan, but for us Australians Sydney is the most expensive city to live in.
However, it is also the biggest with the most opportunities for jobs. Property can be expensive and like most cities food and accomodation can be costly, but wages are reasonable and making a living is not too difficult if you are a hard working person and have a regular job.
Good luck! :-)

Sydney is a great city in which to live and has everything you would expect in a city of five million people. Those people have to live somewhere and the cheapest housing is on the outskirts of the city, up to 50km from the centre. Some areas are well served by public transport, others are not. Public transport is not expensive if you buy weekly or longer period tickets. Even if you buy daily tickets it is still cheaper than driving to the city and parking for the day.
I suggest you look at the Sydney Morning Herald on a Saturday http://www.smh.com.au You will be able to get an idea of house prices in different areas and the cost of many different goods and services. In my opinion, the price of fresh food is much the same wherever you go in Australia and is remarkably cheap compared with some parts of the world

Relax on sun-drenched beaches, eat at award-winning restaurants and a lot more is what you should get in your trip to Sydney. Find more with hotelbye . Among the world's great symbols and a absolutely should see in Sydney could be the Sydney Opera House, a location is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the celebrity attraction on the glittering harbour. That graceful developing, shaped like covers or billowing sails, perches on a finger of land surrounded by water. Sydney is really a special spot to spend your vacation therefore, don't lose the ability to see a good city.

Your question is rather vague so my answer would probably not help much. Anyway, cheap or expensive is relative. Australia is definitely cheaper than Europe or the US, but I can't say how it is comparedto Jordan. But if you come to live in Australia and get a professional job (e.g. doctor, lawyer, accountant, teacher, interior designer, restaurateur) you should be able to cover your family's living costs in Australia.

according to danger. once you're waiting to stay extra beneficial out of the city and commute and in case you have not have been given a kin interior the city to assist and no rely if it fairly is a ingredient of an enduring gross sales equipment then its ok. you will be waiting to stay and shop fairly. in any different case, its not an excellent settlement fee, counting on how experienced you're. Sydney is amazingly costly to stay in. not basically lease, yet nutrition costs are spiraling uncontrolled, petrol costs replace on an standard basis and are at present approx A$a million.30/lt.. autos at the instant are not affordable and incur stamp accountability. Many roads have tolls. paperwork is rampant and costs and miscellaneous taxes are charged on something and each thing. on the plus area, in case you qualify as an enduring resident you will get a Medicare card which rebates approximately 60% of all scientific charges.
