Australian GED equivalent?
So, I'm Australian myself, but I have absolutely no idea about this. I've googled 'australian ged equivalent' and related searches, and I've looked through this comm, but my search's been fruitless thus far.
What's the closest Australian equivalent to the American GED certificate? I've heard people refer to 'Year 12 or equivalent' enough to know that one must exist. Story is modern-day, South Australia, character in question dropped out at the end of Year 11/beginning of Year 12 (shortly after turning 17) and it's been long enough since he dropped out that he wouldn't bother going back (and he couldn't deal with school anyway), but he's still technically a minor for the moment (I can change the timeline a bit to make him 18 if necessary).
