They are a protected species, it's probably the fact they very commonly bred in captivity around your area that brings the price down. If someone's pinching them from the wild they need reporting to NPWSAround here they are about 100 dollars, but I think that most are wild caught, cause in this part of nsw they are not on the protected species list.
If you get one you have it for a long time!!
They live for 50 years onwards,
We have had ours for 25 years and he was hand raised but not allowed out of his cage as he bites now hehehe.

sulphur-crested cockatoos and galahs have been declared 'locally unprotected' west of the Great Dividing Range (in the Central and Western divisions of the state), because of the damage they do to grain and oilseed crops - Quoted from NPWS website, here's the link if you would like to double check
Hi there
I've been looking for the last couple of years for one and near us they are always around $500. If you find any cheaper in Brissy let me know.
Hooroo
Maybe you should do some more reading such as the conditions on your bird keepers licence,
http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/pdfs/bird_licensing_outline.pdf
"all native birds are protected under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act and it is against the law to take them from the wild. There are 41 bird species that have been exempted from licensing."
