Why would you want to date a minor when you are 28? That being said, there is nothing illegal about it as long as there is no sexual contact, which is basically any physical contact with private areas.

Is a 28 year old allowed to date a 16 year old?

This means that its against the law for someone to have sex with someone under the age of 16. It wouldnt be illegal for someone whos 16 to have a relationship with someone who is 30 - unless that person is their teacher or in a position of authority. - feel equal, safe and trust one another.

Can a 16 year old date a 28 year old in Australia?

In general, there are no laws that say when a young person can start dating another person (but there are laws about doing sexual activity with another person, which we explain below!) However, there are laws which make grooming children under the age of 16 a crime.
