Ouch!
It probably looks worse than it is.
Door skins are available which saves a lot of money over the cost of a full door panel. If the doors open and close OK, they will almost certainly re-skin.
It doesn't look like the sill is damaged other than a small dent/chip at the rear and the damaged front edge of the rear wing should knock out and fill OK.
I'll not speculate on bodyshop costs in QLD.

Thank you so much for your advice. I do really appreciate that !!
The doors and windows on damaged side open and close which is lucky
And also no damage inside of door panel at all, front and rear.I hope it would be door shell panel and other small parts.

Might go to an independent accessor first
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I agree with you. I am thinking of goin to an independent accessor first before garage or dealer shop.

Pity there isn't a similar car with good doors in a nearby breaker.
Up here, we have yards where you can pick your own parts, one day a week, doors are $75 per, and ours are easy to take off...heavy as hell, but only two pins per.
My best guess would be a bit higher, more $3200-$3500, but that is with a re-skin.
Don't be surprised if the rockers are a tatty rusted mess underneath, either...
