Being a teen myself, I can certainly sympathise with you on the difficulty of finding auditions for younger people. However, this site can be pretty useful if you know how to use it. On the left side of your screen, scroll down til you find a little section that says "Select State", click on that and change in to WA. That way when you check the audition section, you won't get hugely disappointed when you see the huge list of auditions and realise that only 3 of them are for WA! And sorry if you know all this already and I seem patronising.
The next step is to keep an eye on the audition section, and scan the other forums as well, as sometimes auditions are posted there instead of or as well as in the audition section. I would advise you to start with community theatre if you're interested in the theatre, coz you'll find once you know a few people and you've done a few auditions, not only will auditions be a hell of a lot easier, you're also more likely to hear about the goings-on in the theatre world.
Try and do as many courses as you can, as they are usually just as valuable - or more valuable - than being involved in a production. If you don't know anything about drama theorists or different types of acting, courses are a great way to find out through a hands-on approach.
If you're interested in film or method acting, there are courses offered by different companies in WA... there's a company called Make Believe Entertainment who offers courses in Method Acting and later acts as a casting agent as well, but you might have to look into that, coz I'm not sure if the courses are held during school hours.
And go to see as much theatre as you can, if you are interested in theatre. You can learn a lot just by watching, and check out some of the reviews on the website to get a different opinion on the play.
Being thirteen, you might find it difficult to get parts, but don't be afraid to be rejected - try for parts that are listed as a few years older, you never know, you might be exactly what they're looking for, and makeup can help make you look older anyway. Just don't be afraid to put yourself out there, coz as soon as you start to get to know people, it'll get easier. God I'm starting to sound like a relationship counsellour! Better leave it there...
Good luck
