Melbourne is further from ‘good’ climbing than Sydney, but if you want jobs and climbing proximity plus cheaper rent then I’d consider satellite towns like Horsham ( much closer to Arapiles / Grampians), or Katoomba to Lithgow/Bathurst (on the western side of the Blue Mtns).
Housing market in Australian capital cities is now on the downturn... but regional centres are holding their own quite well.

Chockstone is head and shoulders above any other climbing site in Australia, however if warmer climate is your thing for our winter, put a post up on qurank (Queensland / Brisbane centric).

You could refine responses further if you indicate your preference of trad vs sport, sandstone (Blueys) vs harder rock (Arapiles)!...
