Keep at it. You may wish to charge more (more professional, etc) and emphasise less on age though because you'll definitely face youthism. Especially where the law frowns upon child labour. Also, the government will refuse to allow you to form your own company until you're 18.

You may want to consider alternative sources of revenue such as odesk, etc. Contracting work and more. But sadly, don't look for a job for reasons mentioned above. If they find out that you're too young and don't want to work with you, move on. Don't dwell on them.

Go to networking conferences. Establish a social reputation for what you do. Do NOT rely on your age to help you. Lie if you have to and pretend to be that 'age' from then on. No one will demand ID.

Protip: Reiterate many times on how to lie about your age. Maybe pretend that you're short.

I'd argue that you should abuse your young age for press though. Press loves a story about how a young person is succeeding, it's a USP to them. Use it whilst you can!

He specifically wanted to make more money over developer fame. For people under 16 in Australia, they won't have much opportunities due to law. Especially if the media knows that he's underage, they may attack the company for using child labour.
