I dont think saving up before you move out helps much to be honest. Maybe for a couple of months but thats it. If you cannot make it work on what you are making then obviously you will struggle. I lived just on centerlink payments for about 2 months tops until I realised that you just cant live like that. Depends on what your used to having I guess.
Eating well is important. While your priorities will change (say from beer to food...LOL) so will your spending habits.
If you save up it will help for all your one off things (like fridge, washing machine etc).
Hunter is pretty much spot on, although some of those things sound like you dont have great house-mates.
Oh if you are on centerlink, then get a job Mr. Howard doesn't know about.
