I know a lot of people who started home based business in the telecommunications industry. Some are in Australia. What part of australia are you in?
Most home based business cost under $500 US dollars. I don't know what the conversion is in Australia. Here's a web site of someone I know who has associates that have their own businesses in Australia. You can contact her to find out what it would cost you. http://www.tiffanyvague.acnrep.com

And what kinds of opportunities are available for starting your own home based business thanks.

It depends on what industry and what type of home based business your venturing into. There are several different ways to have home based business. One is starting something all by yourself, with no help, another way is to collaborate in a company that would already be well established and run your business out of your home. These two ways have completely two different ways to go about starting up. I know plenty of people who started home day care centers, charter companies, travel companies as well as telecommunication businesses out of their homes. All have different ways to start up.
I already listed different kinds of opportunities out there. But if you need more detailed information and to be able to look into different industries, I suggest you read this article on home based business opportunities. It will give you information on your question, as well as show you what kinds of opportunities out there per your detailed message.

I am looking for all suggestions on how to get started on my own at home business designing birth announcements, invitations, business cards, etc. How do I start to advertise the business? What are the first steps to get up and going? Would you suggest outsourcing the printing and if so do you have any good online website suggestions to outsource to?
