If going overseas, well that is another matter.
Just check in at the airport, or do it on line, and if you don't have any baggage to check in you can just walk straight to the departure gate.

Correct Leon,
As a regular flyer I can reliable say that with all domestic carriers, if they are your own children and they are on your booking, there is no ID required.
For Tiger, I walked in and spoke to some check-in staff this morning after my shift and they cheerfully informed me that a Medicare card is a good idea to carry with you but you may not even be asked for it.

Correct Matt, I/we check-in online before we leave home, and walk straight to the gate (always fly domestic with carry-on)
Never had an issue with Jetstar or Tiger. Most people (not necessarily you Laurie) will form an opinion about an airline from social media, "a friend of a friend", or watch a TV show without first-hand experience. Just saying.
I've read countless complaints and whinges through social media sites about "insensitive airlines" not holding aircraft, not letting them board etc. etc. because they were late/slept in/missed their taxi/ decided to change their flight, and they expect the entire company schedule to accommodate just for them.

John, because they are your grandchildren there may be an additional requirement to provide ID.
