I lived in Sydney and stayed with my parents. My parents chose to migrate to Sydney because of the weather, closer time zone and less travelling between HK and Australia. Also we had god-parents who were Australians who are very friendly. Australian universities in the capital cities such as Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane will be more expensive. With Sydney being the MOST expensive.
Unfortunately in Sydney, unsure about other states, being an international student you CANNOT get student discount on travel.
But I think I would break down the costs this way,
All in AUD
1. Food: Assume $10 per meal - yearly (student it may be cheaper on campus but I would say $8-12, so $10 as average) - Yearly 11000
2. Transport: $10 per return trip - yearly 3700, obviously depending on where you live.
3. Rent: Normally you share a flat with 2-3 housemates. Assume max you pay 400 per week - yearly 20800
4. Personal expense or entertainment: assuming a budget of $100 per week yearly 5200
total: AUD 40700, annually using 5.5 as forex rate. About HKD 223000 per year. But you know, you can costs if you don't spend on entertainment.
I am unsure about homestay option; but from what I heard homestay means you save on meals by a lot.
Obviously your child can work in Australia but there's a limit to the number of hours you work. In Australia it is best to live close to campus, most of the overseas students don't live on campus, just close to it.
Actually my parents also chose Sydney as there were more Chinese, people are more comfortable around people they know. Also Sydney has the best job opportunities because it is the largest city, so it does mean an enclave of Viet, Chinese, Koreans, Indians etc etc. If I personally have a choice again to migrate etc, I prefer Melbourne as it is less expensive and public transport in the suburb and central business district is better and still comparable job opportunities and a much fairer education system for the public sector.
