full time of casual? 11 is junior full (and perm. part time) time rate, but it's quite a bit more for casuals. I'm going off my old job. The full timers who were 19 got 11.60 and I got 16.10 and a perm. part timer got 13.

im talking part time work here

What about this site. states $15.51 (adult rate) http://www.actu.org.au/HelpDesk/YourRightsfactsheets/MinimumWages.aspx#jobtypes

"Wages for Junior workers (people under 21), apprentices and trainees are usually less than the adult rate."

21 is where the minimum $15.50 comes in. It's closer to $10 for a full-time 18 year old.

How about casual? is it 15% - 25% of $10 ? so really it could be a possible ~$13 per hour. I know mates that are working in places for their post HSC job and earning $19 - $25 per hour. But the $25 per hr, requires u work out of normal working hours e.g. 5pm to 4 am

Depends on the workplace but yes, casuals are paid more because they don't get the perks, such as holidays and sick days or getting paid on public holidays(seriously, getting paid for playing 2 up is the best.)

why is it slow low for 18 yr olds? like fuck, I know 14 yr olds making that much per hour.

Because minimum wage requirements puts up the cost of living+products+everything.
