这个问题每个state的答案都不一样,NSW和ACT的都是建议至少18岁以上,18岁以下如果有任何问题法律责任家长得承担。
为了孩子的安全还是请个保姆或者找朋友同事照看。

New South Wales
There is no specific law that states at what age you can leave children alone. But the law is clear about the responsibility of parents to look after their children:
Parents are expected to provide food, clothing, a place to live, safety and supervision. (Family Law Act 1975)
NSW Police or the NSW Department of Family and Community Services can remove children from situations where their safety is in serious danger and there is no guardian present. (Children and Young Persons (Care & Protection) Act 1998)
Parents can be charged with an offence if children are left in a dangerous situation, or are not fed, clothed or provided with accommodation. (Children and Young Persons (Care & Protection) Act 1998)
When a person under the age of 18 years – for example, an older brother, sister or teenage friend – cares for children, the question of negligence or liability could arise. As a parent, you might be held responsible for the carer as well as your own children if something goes wrong. A person who is still legally a child – that is, under 18 years – would not be judged against the standards of responsibility expected of adults.
Queensland
The Criminal Code (Section 364A) states:
A person who, having the lawful care or charge of a child under 12 years, leaves the child for an unreasonable time without making reasonable provision for the supervision and care of the child during that time commits a misdemeanour. Maximum penalty is three years imprisonment.
Whether the time is unreasonable depends on all the relevant circumstances.
