I'm currently 15 years old and I heard that Australia (Perth) salary are higher than Malaysia 2-3 times more. But Australia country expenses are high, but I intend to get a part time job in Australia on my holiday period and to save more and earn more. And I have relatives who staying there too. I hope to work in Australia as a waiter, cleaner, etc.. that suitable for me. Anyway I do not have any experience but I agree to learn and I'm a fast learner. P/S : I do not have any Australia resident or working visa. Please state down what steps should I do. thanks! So what is the minimum age that able to work in Australia and apply as a working visa? My friends is a permanent resident in Australia and while he was 16 years old can get into a waiter job. How come? Isn't too young for him also? Anyway, can I apply for resident at Australia? Since my relatives (my mom's brother) is a PR in Australia and living there. May I ask if I'm a PR in Australia, do I keep my resident on my previous country that where I born?

no you can not work in Australia,you are too young to qualify for a work visa.If you are caught working you will be deported and banned from Australia

No, absolutely not. You are only eligible for a Tourist visa and on a Tourist visa, you are not allowed to work at all - not part time; not full time; not for pocket money - not at all! In the unlikely event of someone being prepared to illegally employ an inexperienced 15 year old therefore risking a large fine, you have an excellent chance of being caught which will mean deportation and automatic exclusion from Australia for a minimum of 3 years. If you ever wish to return to Australia after your exclusion period, you will have great difficulty obtaining a visa. Please do not even consider coming to Australia and breaking our laws which is what you will be doing if you work.

ok here something you need to know 1 your to young to work any where that i know of out sde your own country ..2 yes the pay is higher in perth by 2-3 time but expense are also higher ..this is the biggest misconceptions everyone has about countries like Australia UK USA and other nation everyone think we are rich since we come to your country with Dollar Euro Pounds or what ever Yes it a lot compared to your money when we exchange it but back home its not really enough to keep food on the table sometime so before you go to perth remember you can make alot more but to live there will can cost alot more too

Residents can work PT from the age of 14 and 9 months. They cannot work during school hours until age 17. High school graduates from a very small selection of countries (Malaysia is not one of them) can work for 1 year between the ages of 18-30. All others have to migrate here on a skilled visa (very hard to get and takes 2-3 years to process from application to getting off the plane), marry and Australian or work in a temp specialize job (like scientific researcher for a 3 year grant). As mentioned above - looking at just income is not good. We could look at the cost of living in the Philippines and say - that's cheap lets move there. However when we get a job we realize that we cannot live like a king because the income like the cost of living is much much lower than in Australia
