Hi @nagumuthu,
The unit I would recommend is the Ryobi 18V ONE+ 4.0Ah Hammer Drill Kit. It's perfect for D.I.Y. jobs around the house, has a hammer function for drilling bricks, comes with a decent-sized 4.0Ah battery and is a great price.
For drill bits, I would recommend getting a couple of kits to cover the majority of what you need. The two kits would be the RYOBI 56 Piece Impact Drilling And Driving Set and a Sutton Tools 6 Piece Masonry Drill Bit Set. If you need larger sized drill bits for a project I would advise buying those individually. The same goes for tiles, if you need a specific size I would purchase the individual drill bit you need. The drill bits included in these kits are of good quality and should last a long time without the need for sharpening.
The Craftright range of drill bits is very inexpensive and could almost be deemed throw away at that price point. They will do the job you need them to but will not last anywhere near as long as the kits mentioned above. It would be my advice to purchase something of good quality that will be used for years to come.

It's wonderful to have you join the Bunnings Workshop community @handyma and @sunnyluna.
It's also great to see the helpful suggestions from @Neo19.
@sunnyluna's suggestion of the Ryobi 18V ONE+ 2.0Ah Drill Driver Kit would be a solid choice that could also be used for many different projects around the home. Today it might be flat-pack cabinetry, but who knows, maybe next week that shelf might fall off, you'll want to hang a picture, or that squeaky door hinge finally gets too annoying. The other thing to remember is you're not just buying the tools but the battery and charger. You might not use the drill often, but since you now have the Ryobi battery and charger, you can select from any of the 100 tools in their One+ range without having to repurchase the battery and charger.
The advice here likely has you on the right track, but feel free to check out the guide: How to choose the right drill for the job

Hi @MarleyJ_Aus,
I'd highly recommend this Ryobi 18V ONE+ 1.5Ah/5.0Ah Hammer Drill Kit. It has the functionality of drilling into brick walls and is a fantastic machine overall. Since you're starting out, you might like to invest in a couple of drill sets and then buy any additional bits you need separately. Here's the Craftright 13 Piece HSS Drill Bit Set, suitable for steel and wood, and the Craftright 15 Piece Masonry Drill Bit Set, suitable for bricks.
Each job you do will likely call for different sized drillbits. Are you fixing the new handles onto the cabinet and need to drill holes for the handle screws? Typically the handle screw is around 4mm, so a 5mm drill bit would suit. Alternatively, if you can post a picture of your handles we can try our best to work out a suitable sized drill bit.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
