14yo PAX denied SYD-MEL using Oz PP as ID - needed School ID

[DC3]

And we notice JQ has since sharpened the pencil and amended their requirements. The page now refers to passengers 12 years or more with the following ID's accepted. At some point someone was smart enough to make this clearer and easier for passengers (and themselves).

• Passport or birth certificate, (proof of age for passengers who are 12 years and over);
• School ID card from a secondary school (can be from a previous year and may be expired); or
• Letter from the secondary school on school letterhead stating the year and confirming current attendance or enrolment in current secondary school (including enrolment in secondary school for the coming year after graduation from primary school).

Still don't understand the school thing.

This seems to be an improvement because the rule that they were trying to enforce in OP's situation is just crazy. How would they handle a foreign visitor from say USA flying domestically in Australia? They don't have primary and secondary school, they have elementary school, middle school (where a 14 year old would be) and high school.

… and, home schooling, anyone …?

A passport perhaps?
