QLD Turning 18 but have a 16 year old girlfriend.

[Jack Montague]

Im a 17 year old male from Queensland, Australia. I have a girlfriend who is currently 16. We engage in sexual activity. I turn 18 whilst she is still 16. What will need to happen in terms of sexual activity?

 

[Scruff]

You don't have to change anything. The age of consent is 16.

 

[Jack Montague]

Even if im an adult and shes still under 18?

 

[Scruff]

Yep. One of you being 18 has nothing to do with it. The legal age of consent is 16, so as long as you're both 16 or over you're fine.
