Hi Parrot,
When you start with the company (Sunstate/Eastern) you will be in Sydney for 8 weeks. During this time you are on full pay and if you're not based out of Sydney you will receive a weekly accomodation allowance.
Once you finish that 8 week period the company flys you from where you are based to complete your simulators in Sydney.
Line training is generally done at your home base (let's just say it's Brisbane), however, you may be required to do some sectors out of Sydney, Cairns, Adelaide, Melbourne or Mildura depending on the rostering.
Hope that helps.
Best of luck
