Hey Rachael
First of all congratulations on deciding to go travelling, it'll be the best time of your life. Your itinerary is pretty similar to the places I visited - I went South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.
I would say around £600 to £700 for Asia a month is about right, and for that you can live very well! Decent accommodation, eating out every night, and going out most nights.
I was spending around £1000 a month in New Zealand and Oz, but that was being very frugal with my money. Very rarely going out drinking (usually getting cheap goon and drinking it in the hostel), always preparing my own meals and generally being careful about my money. Australia is very expensive, while NZ is slightly less so, but in my opinion, there is so much more to do in NZ you end up spending more!
South-East Asia is an amazing part of the world, but I would say don't spend 3 and a haslf months solid in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia are equally amazing and equally cheap, so spend a bit more time in those countries too. Oh and try to get to the Gili Islands - you will have a fantastic time there.
I worked in Oz and NZ, but only because I was 30 when I left home, so right at the limit with regards to applying for a working visa. I got a job in Oz easily and earnt good money, and have just got a job in NZ fairly quickly on good money.
I would say it wouldn't make too much difference if you travel up or down the coast of Oz seeing as you will only be there for 6 weeks. I spent Xmas and New Year in Sydney, and had a good time, but be prepared for it being busy and even more expensive than usual!
Any question drop me a line and I'll try to help!
