Workforce Inspectorate Victoria
Victorian legislation requires a valid child employment licence — in addition to parental consent—for any child under the age of 15 engaged in work.
Minimum age requirements vary in Victoria depending on the type of work and industry.
In Victoria, a child must be:
- 11 to deliver newspapers and advertising material
- 13 to deliver pharmaceutical products or do other types of work, such as retail or hospitality.
There is no age limit for working in entertainment, but there are industry-specific requirements.
Previous successful prosecutions for child employment law breaches have included Donut King and Kanteen Krew.
