What is the Legal Age of Working for Australia? And the Area?

Walk in & ask.

"How old do you have to be to work here?"

 

Some companies have policies. Others don't and just follow the law.

I strongly recommend you do not try and get a job even if it is legal. Focus on school and having fun instead. You'll have around 40 years of work ahead of you anyway, and once you become an adult you'll really miss the time when you didn't have to work. 

 

Besides, even if you did somehow get a job at subway, the salary would be terrible. Not to mention all the laws surrounding employing children. I really don't think you would get the job even if it was legal. 

 

In any case, in Australia an employer with permit can employ people as young as 13 years old. If the employer doesn't have a permit then the minimum age is 15.

There are separate rules for delivery jobs (like news papers) and entertainment (like child actors) but that shouldn't apply here. 

There are also strict regulations on when and for how long a child is allowed to work.

I agree, you have your whole life to work, enjoy your preteen years.

 

get a job when you’re 17-18 just to get yourself a car and work through college.

That's a different State's laws. The .vic.gov is for the state of Victoria. Does not apply to OP.

In South Australia there is no minimum age to work, however school aged children are not allowed to work during school hours.

The minimum wage for under 17s is around $9.50/hr, though with casual loading it's $12/hr.

I don't think subway hires people so young though.
