  • Answer:

    Generally it is 14 ½ to work, but you can work earlier as long as your have your parent’s permission. For proof on what I am saying see "Starting work as a young worker " (in Queensland) http://www.wageline.qld.gov.au/youngworkersrights/starting_work.html Another great site is and http://www.thesource.gov.au A great site based for young people. 12 - 25 yrs old on finding your first job etc - click on the link "find" then a drop down menu appears - click on career.

I love your reason for wanting a job! That made me laugh! The official age is 14 years and 9 months without a parent/guardian's discretion, however you can be as young as 13 with a parent/guardians permission to do so.... A lot of big chain dept. stores probably wouldn't hire you until the official age, but smaller stores like local take-away places may tend to do so. Good luck!

Generally the age that you can start working is 15. But some places may say 14 years and 6 months. Depends on the company
