How old do I have to be to work?

Generally you need to be at least 15 years old to do most jobs. There are some types of jobs you can do when you are younger which are listed here:

10 – 13 years old

If you want to work when you turn 10 years old, here are some things you need to know:

  1. You can only work to deliver newspapers, pamphlets or advertising. 
  2. You can only work between 6am and 7pm.  
  3. You can only work outside school hours. 
  4. You must have a parent with you when you do your deliveries (or an adult who has written permission from one of your parents).
13 – 15 years old

Once you turn 13 years old there are more types of work you can do:

  1. Deliver newspapers, pamphlets or advertising; 
  2. Work in a shop;  
  3. Work in a restaurant or café; 
  4. Collect shopping trolleys in a shopping area. 

There are limits on when you can work:

  1. You can only work between 6am and 10pm.
  2. You can only work outside school hours.
No minimum age limit

Some jobs have special exemptions for children. There are no minimum ages for children working in:

  1. Their family business;
  2. A performance such as a drama or music or making of an advertisement.

A family business is a business, trade or occupation carried on by a parent or other relative of a child.

Taken from http://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/labourrelations/content/Employees/Young_Workers/Children_working.html#How%20old

So yeh, if you put the feelers out now you may be lucky enough to get a job in a tackle shop when your 13. But good on ya for being keen.

Maybe Ryan could put you on work experience and then if you do a good job that could lead in to something or at least get you a decent discount

Hey young fella you will get use to it

The red tape in this country created by one government in particular will hold you back all the way through your life in almost everything you want to do.

Great to see you ready to have a go.

Good to see a young kid looking for some part time work, well done.

I dont know about the age issue, or the required age to work for money.

If you can, I would give Mark or Phil a call at The Complete Angler and Camping and have a chat with them, their great guys.

Washing Boats

Tue, 2013-08-13 20:04

Hey young fella

Have you thought of seeing the boat owners around your area and offering to wash their boat.

I did car washing as a kid to earn money to go water skiing just a thought with Mum and Dads permission.

I see lots of bouts around that don't seem to get out of the drive way much, the neighbour calls mine a pot plant at times.

Cheers and keep trying
