Minimum working age
 
Hi all, is there a minimum age limit on part time working in Australia for example 16 years old? Just thinking for my 16 year old daughter!!

I haven't looked it up or anything, but as a teenager in Australia all my friends went out looking for work when they reached fourteen and nine months. But there were more restrictions then than for older teenagers (and places like McDonald's wanted them younger because they paid them less).

I have no idea if that is still the minimum age....
