If you are in Australia the minimum age is
14 in NSW, QLD, NT, SA, WA, TAS
15 in VIC and ACT
Minimum wages are also variable depending on the kind of work and the state you live in.

It makes on difference if you're 14 or 44, but minimum wages vary by state. The federal rate is $5.15/hr, and this is the least that you can make (except for certain exempted jobs -- for example, working as a waiter in MA there's only a guarentee of approx. $3.50/hr because tips are anticipated). Minimum wage can vary anywhere from $5.15 - $7.50/hr in Oregon. Check for your state, though.
Also, in some states you might be too young to legally work, so if that's the case, just try to work off the books in a restraunt or something.

The federal minimum wage is $5.15 per hour, although the local minimum wage may be higher depending on where you live. For example, the California minimum wage is somewhere in the neighborhood of $6.75 per hour and the City of San Francisco's minimum wage is something like $8.82.

The hourly minimum wage for anyone varies from state to state. The highest paid minimum wage is in Washington for $7.63/hr. Cities also set their own minimum wage. You will want to contact your local government center for the current minimum wage in your city/state.

There is no minimum wage at 14 - the rules only start when your reach school leaving age. An employer can pay you as little as he can persuade you to take.

It varies by state, but generally the minimum wage law applies to 18 years and older.
Check "child labor laws" in your state.
