(Almost) everything is more expensive in Australia. Food, housing, and clothing will cost more. If you need anything semi-substantial for your trip, such as new shoes, buy them in the US and bring them along. Depending on where you go, Australian winters may be colder and wetter than you realize, so plan accordingly.

If you're bringing any electronics along, double-check that they can be used with 220/240V outlets. This information will usually be somewhere on the item or on its AC adapter. Check your chargers, too! And don't forget to buy some three-prong adapters ahead of time. (Note that adapters do not make 110V-only items safe to use in Australia. Leave your 110V-only items at home.)

Before you get on the plane, you should definitely find a place to stay your first several nights in Australia. At the airport, they'll expect you to provide your intended address, such as a hotel. Also, you'll be jetlagged for about two weeks; don't expect to be able to look for work or proper housing during this time.

Make sure you have a copy of your visa acceptance letter containing your visa information (even if it's an e-visa and they claim the number is now connected to your passport) and bring it with you to the airport. I did this, and it helped me get through the lines faster, and the folks at the airport thanked me for it.

It's also wise to put a sheet of paper with your identifying information—your name, passport number, flight numbers, phone numbers, Australian address, and American address—inside each of your suitcases. And bring another copy of this information with you, so you'll have it on hand when they ask for your Australian address.

Have cash (ideally a couple hundred dollars or more) on hand at the airport, in both USD and AUD. It might be a few days before you can get hold of any AUD in Australia, and you don't want to be effectively destitute in the meantime. A credit card that can be used overseas is good, too, though I don't recommend making regular use of it due to fees.

Make sure you understand LAX's layout before you get there. Depending on your flights and how groggy you're feeling, it can be very confusing and may require bus rides. Don't buy plane tickets that only give you a short time to make your connecting flight at LAX; give yourself at least a couple hours.

Save all your plane ticket stubs, etc. This is in case you need to prove anything. When I came over, I got a jury summons and I had to send the judge pictures of my plane tickets to prove I wasn't just trying to dodge jury duty (an arrestable offense where I'm from).

Obviously, you'll want to get a bank account when you arrive. Getting your money from the US to Australia can be tricky. Definitely talk to the people at your American bank and get their advice before you go. In my case, I added my mother to my American bank account. Then when I arrived and opened a new bank account, I asked her to transfer my money to my Australian bank. You might be able to use a debit card instead, but you'll have to work this out with your bank ahead of time.

When you arrive, you'll want to apply for a Tax File Number. You'll need a mailing address, such as a P.O. Box, to receive this. You can start working before you get it, but you'll definitely want to get it soon or you'll be placed in the highest tax bracket.

Bulky and bendy? You can get a simple, tiny block for a little over $5.
