the enlistment age for the Australian army is and has always been 18 years and you have to be 19 to serve overseas, you could join at 15 to become an army apprentice but this was a non combatant role. this was not always enforced to the letter of the law as birth certificates were no always required so many younger people put up their age to serve, the youngest being a boy of 14 years 9 months on enlistment in WW1.
