I

want to make my own money instead of getting heaps of money off my mum,
it makes me feel bad.
So does anyone know what places in Australia take 14 year olds for jobs?
(Other than fast food shops because i know they take 14 year olds but i
dont want to work at a fast food place)

To
work legally you have to be 14 and 9 months - so the places you are
talking about are ones that will pay you under the table etc.
The traditional job is newspaper delivery - but most places dont accept
young people anymore unless there is a parent prepared to step in and do
the work if the child doesnt.

The 14 years and 9
months work is not correct as a user has stated.
Some places may not take you on till 14 yrs 9 months (like Coles, woolys
etc) but you can work.
The general minimum age is 13 years for children starting work, although
children from 11 years of age may perform delivery work including for
items such as newspapers and advertising leaflets.
Parental consent is required for school-aged and young children to
work. Children are not allowed to work when they should be at school.
There are Maximum allowable hours of work for school-aged and young
children - see the website below for more info
