I am not sure about Australia, but in the US judges will take into consideration the request.This usually goes along with the kids desire to live with a parent, If the child appears to be genuine in their requests (in other words,is the child trying to get back at the other parent) and can the other parent provide for the kid. Is the other parent willing and able to care for thie kid. If this is something that you realy want to do,and you can talk with the parent you live with try that route first. If that is not an option, then start looking on line for the laws in Austraila that concerns about kids living with the other parent. You library is a good place to look also. There are many books on this subject. If you know of a lawyer,like maybe a freinds dad, or relative that are lawyers, ask them also. Hope this helps.

in the state of nebraska how old does the child have to be in order to choose which parent they want to live with
Yes. A child as young as 11 years old can choose which parent they wish to live with. It doesn't mean however that a judge will grant it, it merely means that the child can file formally with the court for a change in custody.
They have no right to choose which parent to live with until they are 18 years old. The court makes the decision in that regard until you are 18. That is the law in all states.
18. But if it goes to court the court might ask the child who he wants to live with if he is around 15yo and the court might follow his wish but is not obligated to.
In Mexico a minor can choose which parent to live with at the age of 14.

In Missouri, a 13-year-old child cannot legally choose which parent to live with. The court will consider the child's preference as one factor among many when deciding on custody arrangements, but the final decision will be based on the best interests of the child.
