Jobs at 14? AUSTRALIA?

What places in Australia take 14 year olds for jobs?

• I am 13 nearly 14 and want to get a job, i want alot of extra's and i want to make my own money instead of getting heaps of money off my mum, it makes me feel bad. So does anyone know what places in Australia take 14 year olds for jobs? (Other than fast food shops because i know they take 14 year olds but i dont want to work at a fast food place)

• Answer:

  The 14 years and 9 months work is not correct as a user has stated. Some places may not take you on till 14 yrs 9 months (like Coles, woolys etc) but you can work. The general minimum age is 13 years for children starting work, although children from 11 years of age may perform delivery work including for items such as newspapers and advertising leaflets.
