The QF lounges even have kids' play areas, so they are encouraging children (or trying to keep them from being underfoot in the whole lounge). Normal guest rules apply, if not flying J and having their own status based access (I think someone posted that their infant -- under 2 yo -- had earned Emerald status on AA so kids having their own lounge access rights is not that unusual I suppose).

As all passengers flying in Business Class on Qantas are entitled to use the Business Lougne you should have not problems with your family getting in.
I believe the only restriction for your son is that he goes to the food and beverage area with an adult, of course laws regarding against the supply of alcohol to minors is in place as well.

If the 14 y/o is flying in C, he/she should be allowed to access the lounge... How very age-ist, if not the case. It appears that the airline is wiping their hands of underage pax in lounges, IMHO.
Absolutely wrong.

I remember that prior to my AA PLT membership that I was denied access to the Qantas Club on purely domestic hops (SYD-MEL and SYD-PER were the ones).

The passenger is travelling unaccompanied and is no different to taking a bus or taking a train. This idea that everywhere is dangerous is risible. I would not class an airport as particularly dangerous
Due to licensing restrictions, no minors allowed in without an adult. Since licensing restrictions are ageist, then it is ageist

Depends on when this was. At one time Qantas did not grant lounge access to passengers travelling business class domestically and so OW Sapphire status or higher was needed. With the introduction of business lounges, QF started allowing passengers in based on class of travel
