Teenagers School And Employment
- The compulsory age for
school is from age six to 15. Generally children in this age range can't
have a paid job in school hours.
- Teenagers can get a full
time job once they are 15 years old. A tax file number is needed when
money is earned and income tax must be paid for money earned over a set
amount.
- Between the ages of 13
and 19 teenagers can join the Army Cadet Corps, Naval Reserves or Air
Force Cadets. From 15, they can apply for an apprenticeship with the Navy,
Army or Airforce. If under 17 they need parental consent but from 17 can
apply on their own.
- Young people who have no
home or support may be able to get a Young Homeless Allowance. Between 16
and 18 years of age teenagers can apply for a Youth Training Allowance
while they look for work and take part in any training offered.
