Citizenship ceremonies

The Department of Home Affairs processes Australian citizenship applications and will invite you to attend a citizenship ceremony after approval.

Ceremonies are usually held around four times a year, including one near the Australia Day public holiday (within three days before or after). Please note that ceremony dates are not fixed and may vary.

Family and friends are welcome to attend.

At the ceremony, conducted by the Mayor, you’ll make the Australian Citizenship Pledge and receive your Citizenship Certificate.
