Hi,

The cheapest flights you can get would probably be only two aircrafts which are Virgin Blue http://www.virginblue.com.au and Jetstar http://www.jetstar.com.au they are probably the cheapest you can get.

Occasionally Qantas has cheap flights as well but not very often.

However if your a member of the frequent flyer program on any of these planes it won't cost you anything except for the taxes but you'd need to find out how many points you'd need to do a return flight. But they are still pretty good to use your frequent flyer points. I use it all the time when I need to fly.

So if you have frequent flyer points use those first then work out if it's better just to buy a plane ticket instead.

Another good thing to do is to sign up for their online newsletters and you'll get emailed specials for that month which could be a good thing to do. Just need to visit the website of the company that you want to use.

I have provided a list below of each company for you.

Good luck in finding something.

webjet.com.au is a good one, go on virgin blue between 12noon and 1pm daily (sydney time) when they have "happy hour", sign up with the airlines newsletters.
