If WA refers to Western Australia, then 'no'.
Although sugar gliders are native to Australia, and therefore protected by law, it is illegal to keep them as pets in most states of Australia. Australians understand that sugar gliders are wild animals that should not be restricted to cages.
Licences must be obtained to keep any type of glider in Australia, and licences are generally not granted to the general public. In all states of Australia, including Western Australia (WA), sugar gliders are permitted only for some educational and research purposes, and for zoos, wildlife parks and animal sanctuaries. Certainly gliders cannot be taken from the wild.

Yes. But it also depends if the teenager is responsible and willing to commit to taking care of the animal for a minimum of 10 years. No. A sugar glider is not a good pet for a teenager because sugar gliders are a 10-15 year commitment. The teenager does not know where they will be in 10-15 years, and will be unable to take the glider with them to college. Sugar gliders are also very expensive pets to keep -- most teenagers cannot afford them.

Can a sugar glider be kept in a bird cage?
A sugar glider is a wild animal and should not be kept in a cage. Many others disagree with this statement, preferring instead to indulge their personal fancies for keeping such an exotic pet and ignoring the needs of the animal. Like it or not, it is a form of cruelty to keep sugar gliders. It is interesting that in Australia, the sugar gliders' country of origin, Australians themselves have not stooped to this cruel practice of caging sugar gliders. Only those with licences to maintain wildlife sanctuaries, or to care for injured wildlife, keep sugar gliders in specially equipped enclosures.
