Western union is percentage based so could be fairly cheap option - unless they have different way of working in oz to the uk.
I also dont understand how you got to 20aud if she earnt 700,000rp last month. That is closer to 75aud than 40. Although I'm sure your generosity would be much appreciated.
Despite the low cost of living these girls do sometimes really struggle to make ends meet. When I met my wife she earned only enough to pay for rent, the credit agreement on her bike - and life insurance. She relied on tips to pay for food, petrol etc and in quiet times or when the tips werent flowing she would really struggle to survive.
