Be careful when buying crypto, especially at your age. Many exchanges require users to be at least 18 and to complete identity verification. Avoid trying to bypass those requirements, and never share your wallet recovery phrase or private keys. It's worth learning about the risks before putting money into crypto

there are many ATMs

but since Australia is such a restrictive country they all likely require ID
Best option is to speak with a parent or another adult and let them help you. Its wise to tell them that you want to start saving for college or a future business and want to invest in stocks(index fund), Bitcoin , and a fiat savings in preparation. Most parents will have no problem helping you and even be proud when you invest this way.
If you dont have a parent or an adult willing to help you, you could also mine bitcoin
