I am in a predicament. I have been offered a position in Dubai but the money is only approx US$20K more than my current status in Australia.
Is it worth up routing my family for this small financial gain but furthering my career. I would appreciate some input being positive and negative.

$20K more per month or per year? If per year I would say NO. So since you will not be taxed does not mean you will be earning (gross salary) less than in Australia - or you haven't considered that it will be tax free.

By the way were would you be "routing" your family to? Too much time with wireless technology I think.

The $20K is annually after tax. All calcutations are net. I have taken into account the Tax free benefits in Dubai for wages. Relocating to Dubai - Jumeirah area.

When you say Jumeirah area; does that mean you defintely have a place there or would like to live there? If you have a place then it is fine otherwise the places to live there are quite steep in rental price.
