Yes. Its that simple. * No, not in the general context. Federal regulation Title X supports a minors rights to privacy when it pertains to issues such as contraception, treatment of STD, etc. (the exception in some states is abortion). 30 US states by statutory law protect the minors rights to privacy when it relates to medical care such as cited in the question. The US Supreme Court has continued to rule that the US Constitution affords a minor the same privacy rights in such issues as it does an adult regardless of the laws of the state in which the minor resides. The best choice would be for the minor to discuss such matters with their parents. In lieu of such, the legal community will uphold said minor's legal rights to privacy in such issues. The medical community tends to have the same view with the exception of life threatening situations where it is believed that the minor is not able to make an informed decision.

The sex hormones are jerking in the teen age. It is very difficult for you to control yourself in such a situation. The children are under the influence of the parents. Parents are usually against the sexual activity of the children. But it is too human to err. I take it as compliment that not all the girls and boys go for sexual activity. Few are going to make mistakes. The problem is too be handled with great sympathy and care. Sex education may help you a lot to prevent the problem. That will probably, increase the percentage of the children, which get involved in the sexual activities. Few of the children are going to get involved in sexual activity and that can not be prevented.

Regarding sexual activity, if the minor is 16 or older, there is no restriction (unless you work at the minor's school or are soliciting them for prostitution).

Can a 24 year old date a 15 year old without parents consent in Australia?
"Dating" is a very broad term. Basically the answer depends on whether sexual activity is involved or whether it is simply encountering people in social situations.Broadly speaking, under Australian law, a parent does not have a legally enforceable right to prevent their child from meeting or associating with whoever they want. They do, however, have considerable moral authority, and disobeying one's parents wishes' may not result in legal consequences but it could have very serious consequences for your family life in general.The age of consent for most people in most circumstances in Australia is 16. Anybody below the age of 16 cannot legally consent to sexual intercorse (the law differs from state to state on what other acts outside of sexual intercorse are included within consent. In some cases it may be higher than 16). Anyone who engages in sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 16, regardless of their consent or otherwise, and regardless of their own age, is committing a crime.The legal age of consent has nothing to do with parents' wishes one way or the other. A person who is under the age of consent is off limits for sexual activity in all circumstances.To summarise - parents cannot use legal methods, like the courts or police, to stop you from meeting or associating with any person. They can however use considerable social pressure and disobeying their wishes can have very serious consequences. There are also very serious legal consequences for anyone who engages in sexual activity with someone who is under the legal age of consent, which in most circumstances is 16 or above.
