Citizenship

Australian citizenship symbolises our unity as a nation. It represents commitment to Australia and its people, the values we share and our common future. It also symbolises the sense of belonging to the country where we have been born or where we have decided to make our home.

For information on citizenship including application forms you can:

• go to the Australian Citizenship web site
• phone Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs on 131880
• pick up a citizenship package from a Service Centre

The Mayor can conduct citizenship ceremonies during ordinary meetings of Council for residents and at Australia Day ceremonies.
