Hey, I'm currently 17 and trying to do the same thing. First off, you will need an Australian visa which you must apply for. It is expensive and can take several years. I already have mine because I lived there for a few years when I was younger, but my parents said it was pretty hard since so many people want to go there and cost thousands of dollars. Its much easier to get a student visa which allows you to live and go to school in Australia but you cannot work which makes it tough and you must be graduated from high school. I would recommend waiting until you're 18 and go to a university within Belgium that has a study abroad program with Australia. You wouldn't need to pay as much or have to deal with all the very confusing immigrations business. Also, when your 15 you would need your parents to sign off on everything because you're still a minor. If you don't want to wait until you're an adult, do some research on exchange program websites like this - http://wep.org.au/info/ hope this wasn't too confusing and helped!
