About Australian Citizenship
Australian citizenship allows you to fully participate in Australian society and enjoy the rights, privileges, and responsibilities that come with being part of this nation. It represents your ongoing commitment to Australia’s democratic values of freedom, respect, and equality.
Common Pathways to Australian Citizenship
- Citizenship by Conferral: For permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens who have met residency, character, and knowledge requirements.
- Citizenship by Descent: For individuals born outside Australia to an Australian citizen parent.
- Citizenship by Adoption: For children adopted under a recognised Australian law.
- Resumption of Citizenship: For former citizens wishing to regain their Australian citizenship.

• Were born outside Australia.
• Have at least one Australian citizen parent at the time of your birth.
• Can provide evidence of your parent’s citizenship and your relationship.
• Are of good character if aged 18 or over.
Special Circumstances
- Children under 16 do not need to meet the general residence requirement but must be permanent residents.
- Applicants aged 60 and above, or those with significant disabilities, may be exempt from sitting the citizenship test.
- In cases of hardship, compassionate or compelling circumstances may be considered.
