What is the legal age in Australia to get a job?

What is the minimum age in Australia that you can get a job?

  • And what jobs can you get at that age?

  • Answer:

    You need to be 14 years and 9 months to be able to work. You can whatever job you can fit in your time, its most likely going to be a part-time position if you're still at school. Your wages will depend on your age. You won't get a position at retail stores such as Myer, Sportsgirl, Witchery etc. They usually look for 18+. Its easiest to get a job at a food shop (McDonalds etc.) or the supermarket (Safeway I've heard has very good wages).

I think you can work at the following ages in these states: 1. SA, NSW, TAS & NT: 14 years of age; 2. VIC: 15 years of age; 3. ACT: 15 years of age or under 10 hours per week if under 15; 4. QLD: Kids under 16 need parental approval and can only work up to 12 hours during a school week 5. WA: Kids under 15 need parental approval

Legal working age is 14 9months and while you can get hired at most places your best bet would be mcdonalds, hungry jacks, red rooster, kfc and fast food places like that. Good luck xo

The youngest age to get a job legally in the retail industry is 14 years and 9 months old, but depending on the situation and how you act and present yourself or if you have your parents consent then you can get a job earlier. Where as in the labour industry sometimes age doesn't matter it just depends on responsibility and reliability. Talking from experience in both arenas.

The legal age in Australia is 14 and 9 months, but some people might employ younger but pay them cash in hand.

the legal age is 14 and 9 months... but if you have parent consent you can work younger than that. not many people will hire at a younger age, only the fast food sorta stuff usually, im workin at maccas cus they were understaffed and desperate, just so you know its not as bad as people say:D

It must be very young, because Bindi Irwin is only nine and has been working for years. Of course, I think her mother is irresponsible and her father proved himself to be. Why are you asking this in a higher education forum?
