Question

When can I work? im 14 yrs old and i want to find out when i can work. I live in Australia, Victoria?

Answer 1

14 and 9months. Write up a resume and take it to places like mcdonalds, target or woolworths - i mention these cause there more likely to give someone of your age a job, and there always needing staff. Even if you dont get something straight away, they'll keep your number on tab and no doubt you'll get a call in the future. Good luck!

Answer 2

Im in WA so maybe the law is slightly different here but if you are looking for retail or fast food work the age limit is 14 and 6 months.

If you are not quite that you can possibly get babysitting work at your age or dog walking paper delivery and so on

good ;luck

Answer 3

it's 14 years 9 months in QLD, should be something similar in Vic.

Answer 4

I beleive it is 14 and 9 months. Easiest way to find out. Go to Maccas and ask what is the youngest age they employ

Answer 5

There is a bit to it - but I have found the source for you:::

The minimum legal age for working will be 14. 13 year olds will only be able to do work which is specified in local authority bye-laws;

if you are under 15, you may not work for more than 5 hours on a Saturday or on any day during the school holidays (and no more than 2 hours on Sundays);

if you are 15 or over, you may not work for more than 8 hours on a Saturday or on any day during the school holidays (the 2 hour limit for Sundays still applies);

young people will have to have a two week break from work during a period in the year when they are not required to attend school;

there will be a statutory rest break of one hour for young people who work for 4 hours or more;

young people who are paid to take part in sport or work as a model will be covered by the special licensing provisions which currently cover young people in entertainment
