i am not an expat in Austria but a local and the language we speak is German. I would say it鈥檚 very important to know the language since it is required for a work permit (provide certificate from language school).

but also I think it鈥檚 not easy to find an employer who is just doing business in englisch. German is always mandatory. At least basic knowledge.

for shopping, health and so on I don鈥檛 think German is required but depends on the person on duty. But I think that鈥檚 in every country the same.
