Where do I find information on working with child actors?
Refer to the Children and Community Services Act 2004 and the School Education Act 1999 which are both available from the Department of Consumer and Employment Protection (DOCEP) Labour Relations website. The Children and Community Services Act 2004 prohibits the employment of children under 15 years of age however there are no prohibitions for children employed in the entertainment industry. There is no mandatory code in Western Australia relating to the employment of children in the entertainment industry however you can reference the State of Victoria’s code for more information.
