In Australia, eighteen is the age a person becomes an adult at law.
While the age of consent is 16 years in all jurisdictions other than South Australia and Tasmania (17 years), 18 is the legal drinking age and is also the age most teenagers finish high school and obtain their probationary driver's licence.
Due to the cumbersome process of obtaining a driver's licence and the high-pressure environment of high school, quite a few youths are putting off getting one the moment they turn eighteen. As a result, 'proof of age' or other 'photo identification' cards are becomming increasingly popular.
Are you eighteen? You'll probably need a proof of age card or photo identification card.
