Teenagers Health

Teenagers Health

• When a teenager turns 15 they can get their own Medicare card.
• When a teenager is over 16 they generally don't need the consent of parents or guardians to have treatment.
• Doctors can ask for parental consent if the teenager is under 16 and if they feel the teenager doesn't understand what is being done. Usually doctors will not talk about the treatment with parents or guardian.
• At 18 a person can enter licensed premises and be served with alcohol. They can also buy cigarettes and tobacco.
