If you've been emancipated from your parents, and someone,who is from Australia, will legally take you in, then I'm pretty sure you can live there. If you don't want it to be a permanent thing, you can look into being an exchange student for a year, or look into the People to People program. People to People is where you go to a certain area for about a month, outside or inside the country, to learn more about the area. They'll both cost some money, but it'll be worth it. At the moment, I'm trying to get some information on being an exchange student to France. Hope this helps;)

dont do people to people. you are there for 14-23 days, depending on your trip, you have a host family for like 3 days, you travel, go to cool places, and yo are with like 40 other kids from were you come from, and 5 adults. people to people is great, but it is not what you are looking for. do an exchange program.

If you were able to become emancipated (you must have a strong reason such as being sexually abused or both parents are dead; simply not getting along isn't' reason enough to be emancipated) and you were able to get a visa (which is again unlikely as even though you are emancipated you are still only sixteen) you would have to prove that you could support yourself in Australia, which means getting a job. You can't come to Australia and expect someone else or the govt to support you just because you're not happy living at home. It doesn't matter if you 'have money' you need a constant income, not just one big bulk that runs out. You can't expect the Australian taxpayers to support you. And so what if more goes on? Huh? Unless you are in danger of being murdered at any second it's not grounds for emancipation. People think it's so easy to become an emancipated minor and it's not. And so what if you DO become an emancipated minor? You still can't come to Australia, you're only 16.

Because you're a minor, you won't be able to come to Australia without firm arrangements for your care and protection that are acceptable to our government. I don't know how emancipation works in the US, but if you're under 18, you would presumably have some type of appointed guardian - there's no way you would get any type of Australian visa without your parent's or guardian's permission. Exchange student arrangements are usually relatively short term and don't sound as if they would suit your circumstances so you would probably need to come as a full time student at a boarding school. Here is the info on what's required to come as a student: http://www.immi.gov.au/students/index.htm
